HSA provides an abstraction for memory access, the underlying implementation could use HMM. No?

So I think HMM is a NVIDIA-only thing (Intel has its own special chips derived by Xeon Phi that can now run a whole system on their own).

Guessing you mean HSA rather than HMM ? KFD support for Carrizo & Kaveri *is* upstream. We haven't had a chance to test on Bristol Ridge so no upstream updates for that yet, but Bristol & Carrizo program very similarly.
I tried to fix the page but apparently someone who once had the same IP address as me was a bad dog so the IP address is locked out for now
The biggest problem we have had with Carrizo is that relatively few OEMs included the CRAT ACPI table which describes the hardware to amdkfd, so we're probably going to have to go back and fake up the information once we get some time with Bristol Ridge OEM systems.Test signature
