Hi Liam,

I'm missing a bit of context here, but I did read the v1 thread.
Please accept my apologies if I'm re-treading trodden ground.

I do know we're chasing nebulous ion "problems" on our end, which
certainly seem to be related to what you're trying to fix here.

If I understand right, there's no way to portably clean the cache of
the kernel mapping before we map the pages into userspace. Is that
right?

Alternatively, can we just make ion refuse to give userspace a
non-cached mapping for pages which are mapped in the kernel as cached?
Would userspace using the dma-buf sync ioctl around its accesses do
the "right thing" in that case?

Given that as you pointed out, the kernel does still have a cached
mapping to these pages, trying to give the CPU a non-cached mapping of
those same pages while preserving consistency seems fraught. Wouldn't
it be better to make sure all CPU mappings are cached, and have CPU
clients use the dma_buf_{begin,end}_cpu_access() hooks to get
consistency where needed?

I wonder if the dma-buf sync ioctl might provide a way for userspace
to opt-in to when the zap/fault happens. Zap on (DMA_BUF_SYNC_WRITE |
DMA_BUF_SYNC_WRITE_END) and fault on (DMA_BUF_SYNC_READ |
DMA_BUF_SYNC_START)

nit: The function name sounds like a verb to me - as in "calling this
will clean the buffer". I feel ion_buffer_is_uncached_clean() would
read better.

Thanks,
