drm_gem_map_attach() requires drm_gem_object_funcs.get_sg_table to be

call drm_gem_map_attach() for shmem object and return 0 for vram object
instead of calling drm_gem_map_attach for both of these two kinds of
object.

You need to reject attach here because these vram buffer objects cannot be
used by any other driver. In that case dma_buf_attach _must_ fail, not
silently succeed.

Do you mean these vram buffer objects should not be imported by other drivers?

Because if it silently succeeds then the subsequent dma_buf_map_attachment
will blow up because you don't have the ->get_sg_table hook implemented.

I saw only this call stack would call ->get_sg_table:

#0 ->get_sg_table
#1 drm_gem_map_dma_buf
#2 virtgpu_gem_map_dma_buf
#3 __map_dma_buf
#4 dma_buf_dynamic_attach
#5 amdgpu_gem_prime_import

this stack is for shmem object and it requires ->get_sg_table get implemented.


But for vram object, __map_dma_buf will call like this:

#0 sg_alloc_table
#1 virtio_gpu_vram_map_dma_buf
#2 virtgpu_gem_map_dma_buf
#3 __map_dma_buf
#4 dma_buf_dynamic_attach
#5 amdgpu_gem_prime_import

which will not call ->get_sg_table but alloc a sg table instead and fill it from the vram object.

Yeah and exactly that won't work for this use case.

The VRAM of amdgpu is exposed through an MMIO BAR the guest can't access.

Before __map_dma_buf, the call stack of virtgpu_gem_device_attach is:

#0 virtgpu_gem_device_attach
#1 virtio_dma_buf_attach
#2 dma_buf_dynamic_attach
#3 amdgpu_gem_prime_import

So my problem is that to realize dGPU prime feature on VM, I actually want dma_buf_attach succeed
for vram object so that passthrough dGPU can import these vram objects and blit data to it.

That is completely futile effort, the dGPU physically can't access that stuff or otherwise we have a major security hole in the VM.

If here return -EBUSY, then amdgpu_gem_prime_import will fail and the whole feature will fail.

Yeah and that is completely intentional. Let's discuss that use case AMD internally first.

Regards,
Christian.


Per the documentation the error code for this case must be -EBUSY, see the
section for the attach hook here:

https://dri.freedesktop.org/docs/drm/driver-api/dma-buf.html#c.dma_buf_ops

Since you're looking into this area, please make sure there's not other
similar mistake in virtio code.

Also can you please make a kerneldoc patch for struct virtio_dma_buf_ops
to improve the documentation there? I think it would be good to move those
to the inline style and then at least put a kernel-doc hyperlink to struct
dma_buf_ops.attach and mention that attach must fail for non-shareable
buffers.

In general the virtio_dma_buf kerneldoc seems to be on the "too minimal,
explains nothing" side of things :-/
OK, let me take a look and try to do it.

Julia
