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. qemu test branch: https://git.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/log/?h=sirius/udmabuf Cc: David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie> Cc: Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@collabora.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20180827093444.23623-1-kraxel@redhat.com

The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via
|
|
userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct dma_fence' objects to/from
|
|
userspace via Sync File fds for synchronization between drivers via
|
|
userspace components. It has been ported from Android.
|
|
|
|
The first and main user for this is graphics in which a fence is
|
|
associated with a buffer. When a job is submitted to the GPU a fence
|
|
is attached to the buffer and is transferred via userspace, using Sync
|
|
Files fds, to the DRM driver for example. More details at
|
|
Documentation/sync_file.txt.

---help---
|
|
A sync object driver that uses a 32bit counter to coordinate
|
|
synchronization. Useful when there is no hardware primitive backing
|
|
the synchronization.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: improper use of this can result in deadlocking kernel
|
|
drivers from userspace. Intended for test and debug only.
