mainlining shenanigans
659ab7a49c
USB devices cannot perform DMA and hence have no dma_mask set in their
device structure. Therefore importing dmabuf into a USB-based driver
fails, which breaks joining and mirroring of display in X11.
For USB devices, pick the associated USB controller as attachment device.
This allows the DRM import helpers to perform the DMA setup. If the DMA
controller does not support DMA transfers, we're out of luck and cannot
import. Our current USB-based DRM drivers don't use DMA, so the actual
DMA device is not important.
Tested by joining/mirroring displays of udl and radeon under Gnome/X11.
v8:
* release dmadev if device initialization fails (Noralf)
* fix commit description (Noralf)
v7:
* fix use-before-init bug in gm12u320 (Dan)
v6:
* implement workaround in DRM drivers and hold reference to
DMA device while USB device is in use
* remove dev_is_usb() (Greg)
* collapse USB helper into usb_intf_get_dma_device() (Alan)
* integrate Daniel's TODO statement (Daniel)
* fix typos (Greg)
v5:
* provide a helper for USB interfaces (Alan)
* add FIXME item to documentation and TODO list (Daniel)
v4:
* implement workaround with USB helper functions (Greg)
* use struct usb_device->bus->sysdev as DMA device (Takashi)
v3:
* drop gem_create_object
* use DMA mask of USB controller, if any (Daniel, Christian, Noralf)
v2:
* move fix to importer side (Christian, Daniel)
* update SHMEM and CMA helpers for new PRIME callbacks

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
