I'm just going to put Chia's review comment here since it sums
the issue rather nicely:
"(1) Semantically, a dma-buf is in DMA domain. CPU access from the
importer must be surrounded by {begin,end}_cpu_access. This gives the
exporter a chance to move the buffer to the CPU domain temporarily.
(2) When the exporter itself has other means to do CPU access, it is
only reasonable for the exporter to move the buffer to the CPU domain
before access, and to the DMA domain after access. The exporter can
potentially reuse {begin,end}_cpu_access for that purpose.
Because of (1), udmabuf does need to implement the
{begin,end}_cpu_access hooks. But "begin" should mean
dma_sync_sg_for_cpu and "end" should mean dma_sync_sg_for_device.
Because of (2), if userspace wants to continuing accessing through the
memfd mapping, it should call udmabuf's {begin,end}_cpu_access to
avoid cache issues."

With the misc device, we should end up using the result of
get_arch_dma_ops(..) or dma-direct ops.
This can allow us to have WC mappings in the guest after
synchronization.

We accidentally forgot to set "ret" on this error path so it means we
return NULL instead of an error pointer. The caller checks for NULL and
changes it to an error pointer so it doesn't cause an issue at run time.

Create variable for the list length limit. Serves as documentation,
also allows to make it a module parameter if needed.
Also add a total size limit.

There is a potential execution path in which pointer memfd is NULL when
passed as argument to fput(), hence there is a NULL pointer dereference
in fput().
Fix this by null checking *memfd* before calling fput().

A driver to let userspace turn memfd regions into dma-bufs.
Use case: Allows qemu create dmabufs for the vga framebuffer or
virtio-gpu ressources. Then they can be passed around to display
those guest things on the host. To spice client for classic full
framebuffer display, and hopefully some day to wayland server for
seamless guest window display.
