If a GEM object is allocated, and then exported as a dma-buf fd which is
mmap'd before or without the GEM buffer being directly mmap'd, the
vma_node could be unitialized. This leads to a situation where the CPU
mapping is not correctly torn down in drm_vma_node_unmap().

Which drivers are affected by this problem?

I checked several drivers and most appear to be initializing the offset
during object construction, such as GEM SHMEM. [1] TTM-based drivers
also seem unaffected. [2]

From a quick grep, only etnaviv, msm and omapdrm appear to be affected?
They only seem to run drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() from their
ioctl-handling code.

If so, I'd say it's preferable to fix these drivers and put a
drm_WARN_ONCE() into drm_gem_prime_mmap().

That is good if fewer drivers are affected, however I disagree with
your proposal. At least for freedreno userspace, a lot of bo's never
get mmap'd (either directly of via dmabuf), so we should not be
allocating a mmap offset unnecessarily.

I see.

I the reason I'm arguing against the current patch is that the fix appears like a workaround and 6 months from now, few will remember why it's there. Especially since most drivers initialize the offset correctly. (Not too long ago, I refactored the handling of these mmap calls throughout DRM drivers and it was confusing at times.)

So here's another suggestion: I further looked at the 3 drivers that I mentioned. etnaviv and msm can easily wrap the call to drm_gem_prime_mmap() and init the offset first. [1][2] omapdrm doesn't actually use drm_gem_prime_mmap(). The offset can instead be initialized at the top of the driver's dmabuf mmap function. [3]
