This is v10 of the Rust bindings for DRM GEM shmem objects, from Lyude Paul. The series adds two C-side helper exports (`__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked` and `drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt_locked`), then builds Rust abstractions for SGTable and VMap on top of them. The overall design — using `Devres` to revoke SGTable mappings on driver unbind and lifetime-bounded `VMapRef` vs. owned `VMap` — is sound and well-motivated.
However, there is one significant concern around **object destruction ordering**: when a GEM object with a mapped SGTable is freed while the driver is still bound (the normal case for userspace-driven buffer teardown), `drm_gem_shmem_release` frees the sgt and destroys the `dma_resv`, and then the Rust `Object<T>` field drops run, potentially triggering `SGTableMap::drop` which tries to re-lock the destroyed `dma_resv` and operate on the already-NULL `sgt`. This needs clarification or a fix.
The C patches (2/5, 3/5) are straightforward. The Rust patches (4/5, 5/5) are ambitious and mostly well-structured, with good kunit test coverage in patch 5. A few doc/comment typos and a couple of safety-comment inaccuracies should be cleaned up.

We're about to start explicitly mentioning kernel devices as well in this
file, so this makes it easier to differentiate the two by allowing us to
import `device` as `kernel::device`.

One of the complications of trying to use the shmem helpers to create a
scatterlist for shmem objects is that we need to be able to provide a
guarantee that the driver cannot be unbound for the lifetime of the
scatterlist.
The easiest way of handling this seems to be just hooking up an unmap
operation to devres the first time we create a scatterlist, which allows us
to still take advantage of gem shmem facilities without breaking that
guarantee. To allow for this, we extract __drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()
- which allows a caller (e.g. the rust bindings) to manually unmap the sgt
for a gem object as needed.

In order to do this, we need to be careful to ensure that any interface we
expose for scatterlists ensures that any mappings created from one are
destroyed on driver-unbind. To do this, we introduce a Devres resource into
shmem::Object that we use in order to ensure that we release any SGTable
mappings on driver-unbind. We store this in an UnsafeCell and protect
access to it using the dma_resv lock that we already have from the shmem
gem object, which is the same lock that currently protects
drm_gem_object_shmem->sgt.
We also provide two different methods for acquiring an sg table:
self.sg_table(), and self.owned_sg_table(). The first function is for
short-term uses of mapped SGTables, the second is for callers that need to
hold onto the mapped SGTable for an extended period of time. The second
variant uses Devres of course, whereas the first simply relies on rust's
borrow checker to prevent driver-unbind when using the mapped SGTable.

V3:
* Rename OwnedSGTable to shmem::SGTable. Since the current version of the
SGTable abstractions now has a `Owned` and `Borrowed` variant, I think
renaming this to shmem::SGTable makes things less confusing.
We do however, keep the name of owned_sg_table() as-is.
V4:
* Clarify safety comments for SGTable to explain why the object is
thread-safe.
* Rename from SGTableRef to SGTable
V10:
* Use Devres in order to ensure that SGTables are revocable, and are
unmapped on driver-unbind.
V11:
* s/create_sg_table()/get_sg_table()
* Get rid of extraneous `ret = ` in shmem::Object::get_sg_table()

One of the more obvious use cases for gem shmem objects is the ability to
create mappings into their contents. So, let's hook this up in our rust
bindings.
Similar to how we handle SGTables, we make sure there's two different types
of mappings: owned mappings (kernel::drm::gem::shmem::VMap) and borrowed
mappings (kernel::drm::gem::shmem::VMapRef).

V7:
* Switch over to the new iosys map bindings that use the Io trait
V8:
* Get rid of iosys_map bindings for now, only support non-iomem types
* s/as_shmem()/as_raw_shmem()
V9:
* Get rid of some outdated comments I missed
* Add missing SIZE check to raw_vmap()
* Add a proper unit test that ensures that we actually validate SIZE at
compile-time.
Turns out it takes only 34 lines to make a boilerplate DRM driver for a
kunit test :)
* Add unit tests
* Add some missing #[inline]s
V10:
* Correct issue with iomem error path
We previously called raw_vunmap() if we got an iomem allocation, but
raw_vunmap() was written such that it assumed all allocations were sysmem
allocations. Fix this by just making raw_vunmap() accept a iosys_map.
V11:
* Use Alexandre's clever solution to remove the macros we were using for
maintaining two different VMap types.
* Change the order of items in Object<T> to ensure that sgt_res is always
dropped before obj.
* Fix typo in Object.raw_vmap()

This is v12 of the Rust bindings for GEM shmem, adding SGTable and VMap support on top of the existing shmem bindings. The series is well-structured: two C-side preparatory patches (extracting `__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked` and exporting `drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt_locked`), followed by three Rust patches building SGTable and VMap abstractions.
The overall design is sound — using `Devres` to ensure SGTable mappings are revoked on driver unbind is the right approach for safety. The VMap abstraction with borrowed vs. owned variants and integration with the `Io` trait is clean.
There are a few concerns worth discussing, primarily around locking patterns in the Rust code (non-interruptible `dma_resv_lock` calls, lock not released on error paths), a naming mismatch in the C-side kdoc, and some safety reasoning that could be tightened. Nothing is a showstopper, but a couple of items warrant attention before merging.

This is v11 of the Rust bindings for DRM GEM shmem, a 5-patch series from Lyude Paul. The series adds SGTable and VMap abstractions to the Rust shmem GEM bindings, with supporting C-side helper exports. The first three patches are straightforward cleanup/export patches. Patches 4 and 5 are the substantial Rust additions introducing `SGTable` and `VMap` types with proper lifetime management and devres-based revocation.
**Overall assessment: Mostly good, with a few concerns worth addressing.**
The series is well-structured and shows solid understanding of the locking and safety invariants. The devres-based approach for revoking SGTable mappings on driver-unbind is a reasonable design choice. The VMap abstraction with compile-time size checking via const generics and the `Io` trait integration is clean.
Key concerns:
1. **Patch 2**: The new `__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()` doesn't check for NULL `shmem->sgt` before dereferencing, while the original code did (the caller in `drm_gem_shmem_release` guards with `if (shmem->sgt)`). The Rust side calls it inside error paths where sgt is known-valid, but the exported C function has no self-protection.
2. **Patch 4**: The `SGTableMap` holds a raw `NonNull<Object<T>>` without holding a reference count, creating a potential use-after-free if the `Devres` outlives the GEM object (though the devres cleanup ordering likely prevents this in practice).
3. **Patch 5**: The `Clone` for `VMapOwned` uses `unwrap_unchecked()` which is unsound if `drm_gem_shmem_vmap_locked` can fail for reasons other than the initial mapping (e.g., memory pressure for the refcount bump path).

**Verdict: Looks good.**
Straightforward renaming from `device::Device` to `Device` (the re-exported `drm::Device`), and fixing a stray `//` comment artifact in the import block. This is pure cosmetic preparation for patch 4 which needs to import `device` as `kernel::device`.
```rust
- device,
driver,
gem,
- private::Sealed, //
+ private::Sealed,
+ Device, //
```
The `//` after `Device` is a `rustfmt`-off marker to prevent reformatting — consistent with the project style.
No issues.

Patch Review
**Concern: Missing NULL check on `shmem->sgt`.**
The extracted function unconditionally dereferences `shmem->sgt`:
```c
void __drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked(struct drm_gem_shmem_object *shmem)
{
dma_resv_assert_held(shmem->base.resv);
dma_unmap_sgtable(shmem->base.dev->dev, shmem->sgt, DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL, 0);
sg_free_table(shmem->sgt);
kfree(shmem->sgt);
shmem->sgt = NULL;
}
```
The original code in `drm_gem_shmem_release()` wrapped this with `if (shmem->sgt)`. The call site in `drm_gem_shmem_release` still checks `if (shmem->sgt)` before calling the new function, and the Rust callers (patch 4) also only call it when the sgt is known-valid. So this is safe in practice, but since the function is exported and documented, it would be more defensive to either:
- Add a NULL check inside the function, or
- Document in the kdoc that `shmem->sgt` must be non-NULL.
Currently the kdoc says "If the passed shmem object has an active scatter/gather table..." which implies it handles the NULL case, but it doesn't.
**Minor: Doc/function name mismatch in commit message.** The commit message references `__drm_gem_shmem_release_sgt_locked()` in the V10 changelog, but the actual function is `__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()`. This is just the changelog, not the code, so it's a cosmetic issue only.

Patch Review
**Verdict: Looks good.**
This promotes `drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt_locked()` from `static` to exported, adds a `dma_resv_assert_held()` check, and adds proper kerneldoc. Clean and correct.
```c
+ dma_resv_assert_held(shmem->base.resv);
+
if (shmem->sgt)
return shmem->sgt;
```
The assert is a valuable addition. The documentation is clear. No issues.

* Claude review: rust: drm: gem: Introduce shmem::SGTable
2026-04-21 23:40 ` [PATCH v11 4/5] rust: drm: gem: Introduce shmem::SGTable Lyude Paul

Patch Review
This is the most complex patch. Several observations:
**1. `SGTableMap` holds a raw `NonNull` without a refcount:**
```rust
pub struct SGTableMap<T: DriverObject> {
obj: NonNull<Object<T>>,
}
```
This is initialized from `self.into()` which for `&Object<T>` creates a `NonNull` from the reference. The `SGTableMap` is stored inside a `Devres` which is stored in an `UnsafeCell` on the `Object<T>` itself. So the `SGTableMap` points back to its owning object. This creates a self-referential structure. It should be safe because:
- The `Devres<SGTableMap<T>>` is stored in the `Object<T>` itself via `sgt_res`
- The `Devres` will be dropped before `obj` (field ordering guarantees this as of patch 5)
However, in patch 4, the field ordering is:
```rust
pub struct Object<T: DriverObject> {
obj: Opaque<bindings::drm_gem_shmem_object>,
parent_resv_obj: Option<ARef<Object<T>>>,
sgt_res: UnsafeCell<Option<Devres<SGTableMap<T>>>>,
inner: T,
}
```
Here `sgt_res` is *after* `obj`, meaning `obj` would be dropped first, which could be problematic. This is fixed in patch 5 which moves `sgt_res` to the top. **This means patches 4 and 5 must not be applied independently** — patch 4 in isolation has incorrect field drop ordering.
**2. Lock/unlock pattern in `get_sg_table` doesn't use RAII guards:**
```rust
unsafe { bindings::dma_resv_lock(self.raw_dma_resv(), ptr::null_mut()) };
// ... lots of code with multiple return paths ...
unsafe { bindings::dma_resv_unlock(self.raw_dma_resv()) };
```
The code between lock and unlock assigns to `ret` and then unlocks after. This is correct because `ret` captures all exit paths, but it's fragile — any early return would deadlock. The TODO at the top of the file acknowledges this limitation.
**3. `get_sg_table` returns a reference to a Devres stored in the UnsafeCell:**
```rust
fn get_sg_table<'a>(
&'a self,
dev: &'a device::Device<Bound>,
) -> Result<&'a Devres<SGTableMap<T>>> {
```
The returned reference's lifetime is tied to `&'a self`, which is correct. The `UnsafeCell` access is protected by the dma_resv lock during the initialization phase, and subsequent reads return the already-initialized value. This is sound because the `Option<Devres<...>>` goes from `None` to `Some` exactly once and never goes back.
**4. The `SGTableMap::Drop` acquires the dma_resv lock:**
```rust
impl<T: DriverObject> Drop for SGTableMap<T> {
fn drop(&mut self) {
let obj = unsafe { self.obj.as_ref() };
unsafe { bindings::dma_resv_lock(obj.raw_dma_resv(), ptr::null_mut()) };
unsafe { bindings::__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked(obj.as_raw_shmem()) };
unsafe { bindings::dma_resv_unlock(obj.raw_dma_resv()) };
}
}
```
This will be called from the devres callback on driver unbind. At that point, taking the dma_resv lock should be fine since the driver is being unbound. However, it could also be dropped during normal Object cleanup when the Object is freed. In `free_callback`, `drm_gem_shmem_release()` is called first (which already handles the sgt under lock), then the `KBox::from_raw` drops the Rust fields including `sgt_res`. If `drm_gem_shmem_release()` already freed the sgt (setting `shmem->sgt = NULL`), then the devres is still `Some(...)` but the `SGTableMap::drop` will call `__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked` on a NULL sgt — **linking back to the concern in patch 2 about the missing NULL check**.
Actually, looking more carefully: the `Devres` drop path would revoke the `Revocable<T>`, which may or may not call `SGTableMap::drop`. If the devres callback already fired (device unbind happened), the `Revocable` is already revoked, so dropping the `Devres` won't drop the inner `SGTableMap` again. But if device unbind hasn't happened yet, the `Devres::drop` would call `devm_remove_action_nowarn` and then drop the `Arc<Revocable<T>>`. This needs careful analysis of the ordering between `drm_gem_shmem_release` (called in `free_callback`) and the devres/`sgt_res` drop.
This is a subtle interaction that deserves either a safety comment or a restructuring to make the ordering explicit.

* Claude review: rust: drm: gem: Add vmap functions to shmem bindings
2026-04-21 23:40 ` [PATCH v11 5/5] rust: drm: gem: Add vmap functions to shmem bindings Lyude Paul

Patch Review
**1. Field reordering fix:**
```rust
pub struct Object<T: DriverObject> {
+ sgt_res: UnsafeCell<Option<Devres<SGTableMap<T>>>>,
obj: Opaque<bindings::drm_gem_shmem_object>,
parent_resv_obj: Option<ARef<Object<T>>>,
- sgt_res: UnsafeCell<Option<Devres<SGTableMap<T>>>>,
inner: T,
}
```
This ensures `sgt_res` is dropped before `obj`, which is critical for correctness. As noted above, this fix should arguably be in patch 4 to avoid a bisectability issue.
**2. `Clone` for `VMapOwned` uses `unwrap_unchecked`:**
```rust
impl<D: DriverObject, const SIZE: usize> Clone for VMapOwned<D, SIZE> {
fn clone(&self) -> Self {
unsafe { self.owner.owned_vmap().unwrap_unchecked() }
}
}
```
The comment says "We have a successful vmap already, so this can't fail." However, `drm_gem_shmem_vmap_locked` internally calls `drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_locked` which does `shmem_read_mapping_page` — this can fail under memory pressure even on a subsequent call (the pages_use_count refcount bump path skips this, but if someone called vunmap in between and pages were released...). Actually, in the vmap case, `drm_gem_shmem_vmap_locked` increments `vmap_use_count` and if it's already > 0, it just returns the existing vaddr. So cloning while holding an existing VMap should indeed be safe since `vmap_use_count > 0` means the pages are pinned. This is sound.
**3. `raw_vmap` return value leak if `to_result` fails:**
```rust
fn raw_vmap(&self, min_size: usize) -> Result<*mut c_void> {
// ...
let mut map: MaybeUninit<bindings::iosys_map> = MaybeUninit::uninit();
to_result(unsafe {
bindings::dma_resv_lock(self.raw_dma_resv(), ptr::null_mut());
let ret = bindings::drm_gem_shmem_vmap_locked(self.as_raw_shmem(), map.as_mut_ptr());
bindings::dma_resv_unlock(self.raw_dma_resv());
ret
})?;
```
If `drm_gem_shmem_vmap_locked` fails, `dma_resv_unlock` is still called — that's correct. The `to_result` then propagates the error and `map` (uninitialized) is not read. Good.
**4. iomem handling returns `ENOTSUPP`:**
```rust
if map.is_iomem {
unsafe { self.raw_vunmap(map) };
Err(ENOTSUPP)
}
```
This is a reasonable limitation to document. The `XXX` comment acknowledges it. In practice, shmem objects should never produce iomem mappings, so this is defensive.
**5. The `From<VMapRef> for VMapOwned` uses `mem::forget`:**
```rust
impl<'a, D: DriverObject, const SIZE: usize> From<VMapRef<'a, D, SIZE>> for VMapOwned<D, SIZE> {
fn from(value: VMapRef<'a, D, SIZE>) -> Self {
let this = Self {
addr: value.addr,
owner: value.owner.into(),
};
mem::forget(value);
this
}
}
```
This transfers the vmap from the borrowed to the owned variant without incrementing/decrementing the vmap refcount. The `mem::forget` prevents the `VMapRef`'s `Drop` from running `raw_vunmap`. This is correct — the mapping is logically transferred.
**6. The kunit tests are well-structured** and test both compile-time size validation and actual I/O through the vmap. The `vmap_io` test doing byte-level reads after a 32-bit write to verify byte ordering is a nice touch, though it's architecture-dependent (assumes little-endian). This should be fine for the test environments this runs on.
**7. The `impl_vmap_io_capable!` macro:**
```rust
unsafe fn io_read(&self, address: usize) -> $ty {
let ptr = address as *mut $ty;
unsafe { ptr::read(ptr) }
}
```
Using `ptr::read`/`ptr::write` (not volatile) is intentional for non-iomem shmem mappings. This is correct — shmem vmap memory is regular kernel memory, not MMIO.
**Minor nit:** The `BaseObject` import in patch 5 (`use gem::BaseObject`) isn't visibly used in the diff. It might be needed for `self.size()` to be available, which goes through the `BaseObject` trait. Worth confirming it's actually needed and not a stale import.
---
**Summary of actionable items:**
1. Patch 2: Add a NULL check or document that `shmem->sgt` must be non-NULL in `__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()`.
2. Patch 4: The field ordering issue means patch 4 alone has a potential drop-order bug; consider moving the field reorder from patch 5 into patch 4 for bisectability.
3. The interaction between `drm_gem_shmem_release()` freeing the sgt and the `Devres<SGTableMap>` drop trying to free it again deserves a safety comment explaining why double-free doesn't occur.
