Hi all,

Running the dmabuf-heap test [*] on mainline kernel triggers the

Thanks for the bug report. We have a possible fix in the latest drm-
misc-next tree. Does it work if use replace DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DRIVER_OPS
with DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DRIVER_OPS_NO_MAP_SGT at [1]?

Thanks for the heads up! So I applied commit 660cd44659a0
("drm/shmem-helper: Import dmabuf without mapping its sg_table") [*] in
my local tree, together with your suggestion:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/vgem/vgem_drv.c

The warning message disappeared with that. Thanks again!

Thanks for testing. I'll attempt to get this change into upstream in the near future.

Best regards
