Interesting point, we should probably change that.

Well that won't work like this, pointing those things out is exactly what 
DMABUF_DEBUG is made for.

What MSM is doing here is not allowed at all and can break badly. We gave 
drivers 5 years to get that fixed and I'm now pushing for completely 
deprecating that hack.

See patch 84335675f2223cbd25d0de7d38ecc7d40b95bd4a:

    dma-buf: Add debug option

When MSM needs the struct page then it must import a shmemfd and not a DMA-buf. 
What we could do is to either fix MSM or mark it as broken.

Christian.
