Patch Review
**Correctness: Good.** The fix correctly ensures that new VA mappings on an already-evicted vm_bo are still invalidated by the shrinker. The original code:
```c
- /* Skip already evicted GPU mappings. */
- if (vm_bo->evicted)
- continue;
```
...was too aggressive — it skipped not just the `drm_gpuvm_bo_evict()` call, but the entire VA walk below it. After the fix, only the `drm_gpuvm_bo_evict()` call is conditionally skipped:
```c
+ if (!vm_bo->evicted)
+ drm_gpuvm_bo_evict(vm_bo, true);
drm_gpuvm_bo_for_each_va(va, vm_bo) {
```
**Minor comment issue.** The new comment states:
```c
+ /* ...we don't call drm_gpuvm_bo_evict() again because this would
+ * mess up with the internal gpuvm lists...
```
This is technically inaccurate. Looking at the underlying `__drm_gpuvm_bo_list_add()` in `drm_gpuvm.c:871`:
```c
static void
__drm_gpuvm_bo_list_add(struct drm_gpuvm *gpuvm, spinlock_t *lock,
struct list_head *entry, struct list_head *list)
{
cond_spin_lock(lock, !!lock);
if (list_empty(entry))
list_add_tail(entry, list);
cond_spin_unlock(lock, !!lock);
}
```
The `list_empty()` guard already prevents double-insertion — calling `drm_gpuvm_bo_evict(vm_bo, true)` a second time would be a harmless no-op (evicted is already `true`, and the list add is guarded). The real reason to skip the call is that it's *redundant*, not that it would corrupt lists. Consider rewording to something like: "we skip the redundant drm_gpuvm_bo_evict() call since the vm_bo is already on the evict list."
This is purely a comment accuracy issue — the code behavior is correct either way.
**Locking:** The `mutex_trylock(&vm->op_lock)` path and the `drm_gpuvm_bo_for_each_va` loop are unchanged and remain correct relative to the pre-existing code.
**Fixes tag and attribution look correct.**
