Presumably the intent here was that hmm_range_fault() could put the data
into some HW specific format and thus avoid some work. However, nothing
actually does that, and it isn't clear how anything actually could do that
as hmm_range_fault() provides CPU addresses which must be DMA mapped.
Perhaps there is some special HW that does not need DMA mapping, but we
don't have any examples of this, and the theoretical performance win of
avoiding an extra scan over the pfns array doesn't seem worth the
complexity. Plus pfns needs to be scanned anyhow to sort out any
DEVICE_PRIVATE pages.
This version replaces the uint64_t with an usigned long containing a pfn
and fixed flags. On input flags is filled with the HMM_PFN_REQ_* values,
on successful output it is filled with HMM_PFN_* values, describing the
state of the pages.
amdgpu is simple to convert, it doesn't use snapshot and doesn't use
per-page flags.
nouveau uses only 16 hmm_pte entries at most (ie fits in a few cache
lines), and it sweeps over its pfns array a couple of times anyhow. It
also has a nasty call chain before it reaches the dma map and hardware
suggesting performance isn't important:
