I don't recall ever attempting that... But patching GUP for special pages or VMAS; or working around by not calling it in some cases seems like the thing that's going to need to be done one way or another. > Jerome made the HMM mirror API use this flow, so afer his patch to > switch the ODP MR to use HMM, and to switch GPU drivers, it will work > for those cases.

If you are using HMM you are using struct pages, but we're told we need this special VMA hack for cases that don't use HMM and thus don't have struct pages... Logan
