Patch Review

**UAPI concern: enum value insertion breaks ABI.**
`DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO` is inserted *between* `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_CSIF_INFO` and `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_INFO` in the enum. Since these are auto-numbered C enum values, this shifts the values of `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_INFO` and `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_GROUP_PRIORITIES_INFO`, breaking existing userspace compiled against the old header. The new query should be added at the end of the enum (before any terminator/max, if any), or should use an explicit assigned value.

```c
+	/** @DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO: Query MMU information. */
+	DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO,
+
 	/** @DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_INFO: Query timestamp information. */
 	DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_INFO,
```

Similarly, in `panthor_drv.c`, the `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO` case is inserted in the middle of the switch. While this is cosmetic and functionally fine (switch doesn't depend on ordering), it should match wherever the enum ends up.

The struct `drm_panthor_mmu_info` has only a single `__u64` member. This is fine for now but consider whether any padding field is needed for future extensibility (it's a single u64 so no alignment issues).

Otherwise the implementation is clean -- extracting the hardcoded `SZ_4K | SZ_2M` into a queryable parameter is a reasonable change.

This patch series implements sparse mappings in Panthor. Owing to the lack of HW MMU
features for sparse page table entries, this had to be implemented using a dummy object
over which sparse mappings requested over VM_BIND are mapped cyclically.

To that end, a new VM_BIND flag was added in the driver's uAPI.

The end goal of this patch series is to improve support of Vulkan sparse
resources. At the moment, to implement this feature on Mali hardware, Vulkan
sparse map is implemented by mapping the specified region to a "dummy bo" so
that the accesses do not fault. A newly created sparse resource starts off
unmapped, and therefore also has to be mapped to the "dummy bo".  This "dummy
bo" is small (a page size) in comparison to the sizes of va ranges that we might
want to map to it, and a large number of vm_bind ops can be necessary. For
example, if the user were to create a 100e6-byte sparse resident resource, we'd
have to poke VM_BIND with ceil(100e6/0x1000)=24415 map operations.

The new VM_BIND sparse mapping feature addresses this particular inefficiency by
letting us implement a single Vulkan sparse map operation and sparse resident
resource initialization with just one map operation.

Link to the conversation for the previous patch series revision at:
https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20260416214453.112332-1-adrian.larumbe@collabora.com/

Changes in v9:
 - Addressed some nits.
 - Rearranged argument checks for vm_bind to profit from compiler optimisations.
 - Added some further comments.

Changes in v8:
 - Allocate a single 2MiB BO as a dummy buffer for sparse mappings. Let its pages
 be retrieved just like for any other BO during a map operation.
 - Removed locking around allocation of the dummy BO by doing it right at the
  time of a VMA pool creation.
 - Some minor style fixes.
 - Refactor low level page mapping code in sm_remap and sm_map.
 - Made NO_EXEC a mandatory flag for sparse mappings.
 - Actually bumped the driver's minor revision number.

Changes in v7:
 - Switched back to Panthor BO-backed dummy object instead of raw pages so as to profit from
 the existing shrinker reclaim paths.
 - Created Dummy BO's per file context to avoid information leaking between them.
 - Reorganised some of the low-level page mapping code.
 - Added commits deleting spurious white space and unused op contex field.

Changes in v6:
 - Moved all the GPUVM core code into the driver backend.
 - Discarded commits that touch on the gpuvm core too.
 - Redesigned the uAPI so that no repeat range or user BO is supplied for sparse mappings.
 - Replaced user-supplied BO with a kernel-allocated array of raw pages.

Changes in v5:
 - Minor fixes to drm_gpuvm.c.
 - Add panthor MMU page sizes device queriable param.
 - Add helper to make sure unmaps of repeated regions are correct.
 - Some fixes to Panthor's repeat mappings implementation.
 - Lump arguments to panthor_vm_prepare_map_op_ctx into a single struct.

Changes in v4:
 - Fixed the warnings reported by the kernel test robot.
  https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202507041635.WyDu3TQ1-lkp@intel.com/
 - Fixed the warnings reported by the CI.
  https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/151264/

No changes in v3.

Changes in v2:
 - Make panthor use this stuff.
 - Make it possible to express a repeated mappina of any suitably sized
  and aligned range of a BO, rather than strictly the page size -sized
  prefix, generalizing the API. Rename DRM_GPUVA_SINGLE_PAGE to
  DRM_GPUVA_REPEAT.
 - Clean up parts of drm/gpuvm affected by these changes.

Adrián Larumbe (6):
  drm/panthor: Expose GPU page sizes to UM

In future commits that will implement repeated mappings, only repeat
values multiple of GPU page sizes will be tolerated. That means these
values must be made known to UM. Do it through a queriable GPU info
value.

Instead of passing its constituent elements, pass the whole struct to

Allow UM to bind sparsely populated memory regions by cyclically mapping
virtual ranges over a kernel-allocated dummy BO. This alternative is
preferable to the old method of handling sparseness in the UMD, because it
relied on the creation of a buffer object to the same end, despite the fact
Vulkan sparse resources don't need to be backed by a driver BO.

The choice of backing sparsely-bound regions with a Panhtor BO was made so
as to profit from the existing shrinker reclaim code. That way no special
treatment must be given to the dummy sparse BOs when reclaiming memory, as
would be the case if we had chosen a raw kernel page implementation.

A new dummy BO is allocated per open file context, because even though the
Vulkan spec mandates that writes into sparsely bound regions must be
discarded, our implementation is still a workaround over the fact Mali CSF
GPUs cannot support this behaviour on the hardware level, so writes still
make it into the backing BO. If we had a global one, then it could be a
venue for information leaks between file contexts, which should never
happen in DRM.

This v9 series adds sparse mapping support to the Panthor (Mali CSF) GPU driver, allowing userspace (Vulkan) to bind virtual address ranges over a kernel-allocated dummy BO in a cyclic fashion. The approach of per-file-context dummy BOs for information isolation is sound, and the series is well-structured with clean preparatory patches.

However, there are several issues that need attention:

1. **uAPI enum ordering break** (Patch 1) — inserting `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO` in the middle of an auto-numbered enum changes the values of all subsequent members, breaking existing userspace.
2. **Memory leak on error path** (Patch 5) — `panthor_vm_pool_create` leaks memory if `panthor_dummy_bo_create` fails.
3. **Wrong address in hugepage alignment check** (Patch 5) — the `op->next` branch of `unmap_hugepage_align` now passes `*unmap_start` instead of the original `unmap_end - 1`, which is incorrect for non-sparse mappings.

Patch Review

This patch exposes the MMU page size bitmap to userspace via a new `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO` query type and `struct drm_panthor_mmu_info`.

**uAPI enum value collision (major):** The new enum member is inserted between `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_CSIF_INFO` and `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_INFO`. Since the enum is auto-numbered (only `GPU_INFO = 0` has an explicit value), this shifts the values of `TIMESTAMP_INFO` (2→3) and `GROUP_PRIORITIES_INFO` (3→4). Any existing userspace compiled with the old header will send the wrong query type for those two.

```c
+	/** @DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO: Query MMU information. */
+	DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO,
+
 	/** @DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_INFO: Query timestamp information. */
 	DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_INFO,
```

The new member should be appended **after** `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_GROUP_PRIORITIES_INFO` to preserve existing numeric values, or assigned an explicit value.

The rest of the patch is straightforward — `panthor_mmu_info_init()` sets the bitmap, the ioctl copies it out. Reviewed-by tags from Steven Price and Boris Brezillon are present.

Patch Review

Clean refactoring: passes the whole `struct drm_panthor_vm_bind_op` instead of individual fields. The `panthor_vm_map_bo_range` helper correctly constructs a temporary `drm_panthor_vm_bind_op` on the stack.

No issues. This is a good preparatory cleanup.

Patch Review

Removes the unused `map.sgt` field from `panthor_vm_op_ctx`. The commit message notes that the sgtable is now retrieved from the BO's `dmap` field, which is consistent with the code. No issues.

* Claude review: drm/panthor: Support sparse mappings
  2026-04-22 12:25 ` [PATCH v9 5/6] drm/panthor: Support sparse mappings Adrián Larumbe

Patch Review

This is the main patch. Several issues:

**1. Memory leak in `panthor_vm_pool_create` error path:**

```c
+	pfile->vms->dummy = panthor_dummy_bo_create(pfile->ptdev);
+	if (IS_ERR(pfile->vms->dummy))
+		return PTR_ERR(pfile->vms->dummy);
```

If `panthor_dummy_bo_create` fails, the function returns an error without freeing `pfile->vms` or destroying the xarray initialized two lines above. The caller (`panthor_open`) goes to `err_free_file` which frees `pfile` but not `pfile->vms`. This leaks the `panthor_vm_pool` allocation and the xarray. Additionally, `pfile->vms` is left pointing to memory with `dummy` set to an ERR_PTR, which would crash if `panthor_vm_pool_destroy` were ever called on it (it does `drm_gem_object_put(&pfile->vms->dummy->base)`). The error path should clean up and set `pfile->vms = NULL`.

**2. Wrong address passed to `iova_mapped_as_huge_page` for `op->next` (regression):**

In `unmap_hugepage_align`, the `op->next` branch was changed from:
```c
-	    iova_mapped_as_huge_page(op->next, unmap_end - 1)) {
+	    (iova_mapped_as_huge_page(op->next, *unmap_start, is_sparse))) {
```

For the non-sparse case, the `addr` parameter is used to compute:
```c
bo_offset = addr - op->va.addr + op->gem.offset;
```

The original code passed `unmap_end - 1` (last byte of the unmapped region), which is just before `op->next->va.addr`. The replacement `*unmap_start` is the *beginning* of the unmap region, which is well before `op->next->va.addr`, causing `addr - op->va.addr` to underflow (unsigned). For sparse, `bo_offset` is forced to 0 so the bug doesn't manifest, but this is a regression for non-sparse remap operations. The fix should pass `unmap_end - 1` for non-sparse and `*unmap_start` (or any value) for sparse.

**3. `panthor_vm_map_sparse` — minor observation:**

```c
+	while (size > 0) {
+		u64 next_size = min(size, sg_dma_len(sgt->sgl));
```

This always uses `sgt->sgl` (the first SG entry). If the dummy BO's pages are not physically contiguous, the first SG entry might be small (4KiB), meaning the entire sparse range maps to the same physical page repeatedly. This is functionally correct (sparse semantics say reads are undefined) but could be slow for large ranges. The comment about the 2MiB dummy BO in `panthor_dummy_bo_create` acknowledges this uncertainty — worth noting but not blocking.

**4. Remap `size > 0` guards:**

The patch adds `&& size > 0` checks in the remap prev/next branches:
```c
-		if (!unmap_vma->evicted) {
+		if (!unmap_vma->evicted && size > 0) {
```

This seems defensive — it's not clear when `size` could be zero in normal operation. If this is guarding against edge cases in the hugepage-aligned unmap calculations for sparse mappings, a brief comment explaining when this can happen would be helpful.

**5. The design choice of per-file-context dummy BOs is well-motivated** — the commit message clearly explains the information-leak concern. The VM holding its own reference to `pool->dummy` to survive past file context destruction is correct.

Patch Review

Straightforward version bump with appropriate changelog comment. No issues.

---

**Summary:** The main blockers are (1) the uAPI enum ordering in patch 1 which would break existing userspace, (2) the memory leak on error in `panthor_vm_pool_create`, and (3) the `unmap_end - 1` → `*unmap_start` regression in `unmap_hugepage_align`. The rest of the series is clean.

Patch Review

Clean patch. Adds `struct drm_panthor_mmu_info` with a `page_size_bitmap` field, exposes it via `DRM_PANTHOR_DEV_QUERY_MMU_INFO`, and initializes it to `SZ_4K | SZ_2M` in `panthor_mmu_info_init()`.

No issues. Already has R-b from Steven Price and Boris Brezillon.
