- This is _not_ a generic interface to create gem objects, but just an
interface to make early boot services (like boot splash) with a
generic KMS userspace driver possible. Hence it's better to move
the documentation for this from the GEM section to the KMS section,
next to the creation of framebuffer objects.
- Make it really clear that the returned handle isn't necessarily a
GEM object (it can also be e.g. a TTM handle when running on top of
vmwgfx).
- Add a paragraph to make it clear that this is just for unaccelarated
userspace - gpu drivers need to have their own buffer object
creation ioctl which is hardware specific.
v2: Clarify that the documentation doesn't just apply to GEM-based
drivers only but is now generally valid, as suggested by David.
v3: Polish the intro sentence a bit and one s/objects/handles/ for
clarification, both suggested by Laurent.
v4: More text polish from Laurent's review.
v5: More typo fixes from Dieter.

Render nodes provide an API for userspace to use non-privileged GPU
commands without any running DRM-Master. It is useful for offscreen
rendering, GPGPU clients, and normal render clients which do not perform
modesetting.
Compared to legacy clients, render clients no longer need any
authentication to perform client ioctls. Instead, user-space controls
render/client access to GPUs via filesystem access-modes on the
render-node. Once a render-node was opened, a client has full access to
the client/render operations on the GPU. However, no modesetting or ioctls
that affect global state are allowed on render nodes.
To prevent privilege-escalation, drivers must explicitly state that they
support render nodes. They must mark their render-only ioctls as
DRM_RENDER_ALLOW so render clients can use them. Furthermore, they must
support clients without any attached master.
If filesystem access-modes are not enough for fine-grained access control
to render nodes (very unlikely, considering the versaitlity of FS-ACLs),
you may still fall-back to fd-passing from server to client (which allows
arbitrary access-control). However, note that revoking access is
currently impossible and unlikely to get implemented.
Note: Render clients no longer have any associated DRM-Master as they are
supposed to be independent of any server state. DRM core highly depends on
file_priv->master to be non-NULL for modesetting/ctx/etc. commands.
Therefore, drivers must be very careful to not require DRM-Master if they
support DRIVER_RENDER.
So far render-nodes are protected by "drm_rnodes". As long as this
module-parameter is not set to 1, a driver will not create render nodes.
This allows us to experiment with the API a bit before we stabilize it.

It has way too much potential for driver writers to do stupid things
like delayed hw setup because the load sequence is somehow racy (e.g.
the imx driver in staging). So don't call it for modesetting drivers,
which reduces the complexity of the drm core -> driver interface a
notch.

So I've stumbled over drm_fasync and wondered what it does. Digging
that up is quite a story.
First I've had to read up on what this does and ended up being rather
bewildered why peopled loved signals so much back in the days that
they've created SIGIO just for that ...
Then I wondered how this ever works, and what that strange "No-op."
comment right above it should mean. After all calling the core fasync
helper is pretty obviously not a noop. After reading through the
kernels FASYNC implementation I've noticed that signals are only sent
out to the processes attached with FASYNC by calling kill_fasync.
No merged drm driver has ever done that.
After more digging I've found out that the only driver that ever used
this is the so called GAMMA driver. I've frankly never heard of such a
gpu brand ever before. Now FASYNC seems to not have been the only bad
thing with that driver, since Dave Airlie removed it from the drm
driver with prejudice:
commit 1430163b4bbf7b00367ea1066c1c5fe85dbeefed
Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
Date: Sun Aug 29 12:04:35 2004 +0000
Drop GAMMA DRM from a great height ...
Long story short, the drm fasync support seems to be doing absolutely
nothing. And the only user of it was never merged into the upstream
kernel. And we don't need any fops->fasync callback since the fcntl
implementation in the kernel already implements the noop case
correctly.
So stop this particular cargo-cult and rip it all out.
v2: Kill drm_fasync assignments in rcar (newly added) and imx drivers
(somehow I've missed that one in staging). Also drop the reference in
the drm DocBook. ARM compile-fail reported by Rob Clark.
v3: Move the removal of dev->buf_asnyc assignment in drm_setup to this
patch here.
v4: Actually git add ... tsk.

If we want to map GPU memory into user-space, we need to linearize the
addresses to not confuse mm-core. Currently, GEM and TTM both implement
their own offset-managers to assign a pgoff to each object for user-space
CPU access. GEM uses a hash-table, TTM uses an rbtree.
This patch provides a unified implementation that can be used to replace
both. TTM allows partial mmaps with a given offset, so we cannot use
hashtables as the start address may not be known at mmap time. Hence, we
use the rbtree-implementation of TTM.
We could easily update drm_mm to use an rbtree instead of a linked list
for it's object list and thus drop the rbtree from the vma-manager.
However, this would slow down drm_mm object allocation for all other
use-cases (rbtree insertion) and add another 4-8 bytes to each mm node.
Hence, use the separate tree but allow for later migration.
This is a rewrite of the 2012-proposal by David Airlie <airlied@linux.ie>
v2:
- fix Docbook integration
- drop drm_mm_node_linked() and use drm_mm_node_allocated()
- remove unjustified likely/unlikely usage (but keep for rbtree paths)
- remove BUG_ON() as drm_mm already does that
- clarify page-based vs. byte-based addresses
- use drm_vma_node_reset() for initialization, too
v4:
- allow external locking via drm_vma_offset_un/lock_lookup()
- add locked lookup helper drm_vma_offset_lookup_locked()
v5:
- fix drm_vma_offset_lookup() to correctly validate range-mismatches
(fix (offset > start + pages))
- fix drm_vma_offset_exact_lookup() to actually do what it says
- remove redundant vm_pages member (add drm_vma_node_size() helper)
- remove unneeded goto

also a huge amount of code, in fact it is most of this pull request.
Since it landed there has been a lot of community testing and Alex has

Now that the fbdev helper interface for drivers is trimmed down,

simply an artifact of the current rather hazardous locking around drm

Instead of reimplementing all of the dma_buf functionality in every driver,
create helpers drm_prime_import and drm_prime_export that implement them in
terms of new, lower-level hook functions:
gem_prime_pin: callback when a buffer is created, used to pin buffers into GTT
gem_prime_get_sg_table: convert a drm_gem_object to an sg_table for export
gem_prime_import_sg_table: convert an sg_table into a drm_gem_object
gem_prime_vmap, gem_prime_vunmap: map and unmap an object
These hooks are optional; drivers can opt in by using drm_gem_prime_import and
drm_gem_prime_export as the .gem_prime_import and .gem_prime_export fields of
struct drm_driver.
v2:
- Drop .begin_cpu_access. None of the drivers this code replaces implemented
it. Having it here was a leftover from when I was trying to include i915 in
this rework.
- Use mutex_lock instead of mutex_lock_interruptible, as these three drivers
did. This patch series shouldn't change that behavior.
- Rename helpers to gem_prime_get_sg_table and gem_prime_import_sg_table.
Rename struct sg_table* variables to 'sgt' for clarity.
- Update drm.tmpl for these new hooks.
v3:
- Pass the vaddr down to the driver. This lets drivers that just call vunmap on
the pointer avoid having to store the pointer in their GEM private structures.
- Move documentation into a /** DOC */ comment in drm_prime.c and include it in
drm.tmpl with a !P line. I tried to use !F lines to include documentation of
the individual functions from drmP.h, but the docproc / kernel-doc scripts
barf on that file, so hopefully this is good enough for now.
