Hi maintainers,

Could you please review this patch series?
Why is it RFC?

I'm confused why this is useful?

This can't do copy from MMIO memory, so it shouldn't be compatible
with things like Gaudi - does something prevent this?
I think if an export of the dma-buf supports vmap, CPU is able to access the
mmio memory.

Is it wrong? If this is wrong, there is no advantages this changes..
I don't know what the dmabuf folks did, but yes, it is wrong.

IOMEM must be touched using only special accessors, some platforms
crash if you don't do this. Even x86 will crash if you touch it with
something like an XMM optimized memcpy.

Christian? If the vmap succeeds what rules must the caller use to
access the memory?
See dma-buf-map.h and especially struct dma_buf_map.

MMIO memory is perfectly supported here and actually the most common case.
Okay that looks sane, but this rxe RFC seems to ignore this
completely. It stuffs the vaddr directly into a umem which goes to all
manner of places in the driver.
