Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drm/gem-shmem: Track folio accessed/dirty status in vmap
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 14:16:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260127132938.429288-4-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260127132938.429288-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
On successful vmap, set the page_mark_accessed_on_put and _dirty_on_put
flags in the gem-shmem object. Signals that the contained pages require
LRU and dirty tracking when they are being released back to SHMEM. Clear
these flags on put, so that buffer remains quiet until the next call to
vmap. There's no means of handling dirty status in vmap as there's no
write-only mapping available.
Both flags, _accessed_on_put and _dirty_on_put, have always been part of
the gem-shmem object, but never used much. So most drivers did not track
the page status correctly.
Only the v3d and imagination drivers make limited use of _dirty_on_put. In
the case of imagination, move the flag setting from init to cleanup. This
ensures writeback of modified pages but does not interfere with the
internal vmap/vunmap calls. V3d already implements this behaviour.
