[PATCH 00/12] De-stage Sync File Framework

[PATCH 00/12] De-stage Sync File Framework

[Gustavo Padovan]

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

Hi,

This patchset sits on top of Sync ABI Rework v13:

https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg105667.html

The first eight clean up and prepare sync_file for de-staging. The last four
patches do the de-staging, moving files to drivers/dma-buf/ and include/linux/
plus adding Documentation.

As the de-stage depends upon many changes on the staging tree it would
be good to get all the patches merged through the staging tree if Sumit
agrees with that.

The next step on the Sync de-stage is clean up the remaining bits 
of the Sync Framework, mainly SW_SYNC, which is only used for testing.

Thanks,

	Gustavo

[PATCH 01/12] staging/android: remove redundant comments on sync_merge_data

[Gustavo Padovan]

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

struct sync_merge_data already have documentation on top of the
struct definition. No need to duplicate it.

The whitespace (or mail client configuration?) looks wrong here.

this has been fixed in v2 already and Greg pulled everything into
staging next already.

[PATCH 02/12] staging/android: drop sync_file_install() and sync_file_put()

[Gustavo Padovan]

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

These two functions are just wrappers for one line functions, they
call fd_install() and fput() respectively, so just get rid of them
and use fd_install() and fput() directly for more simplicity.

if this is meant to be used outside android, should it select some

[PATCH 10/12] dma-buf/sync_file: de-stage sync_file

[Gustavo Padovan]

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

sync_file is useful to connect one or more fences to the file. The file is
used by userspace to track fences between drivers that share DMA bufs.

+			 DMA Buffer Sync File API Guide
+			 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+				Gustavo Padovan
+			  <gustavo at padovan dot org>
+
+This document serves as a guide for device drivers writers on what is the
+dma-buf sync_file API, and how drivers can support it. Sync file is the
+carrier of the fences(struct fence) that needs to synchronized between drivers.
+
+The sync_file API is meant to be used to send and receive fence information
+to/from userspace. It enables userspace to do explicit fencing, where instead
+of attaching a fence to the buffer a Producer driver (such as GPU or V4L
+driver) it sends the fence related to the buffer to userspace. The fence then
+can be sent to the Consumer (DRM driver for example), that will not use the
+buffer for anything before the fence signals, i.e., the driver that issued the
+fence is not using/processing the buffer anymore, so it signals that the buffer
+is ready to use. And vice-versa for the Consumer -> Producer part of the cycle.
+Sync files allows userspace awareness on the DMA buffer sharing synchronization
+between drivers.
+
+Sync file was originally added in the Android kernel but current Linux Desktop
+can benefit a lot from it.
+
+in-fences and out-fences
+------------------------
+
+Sync files can go either to or from userspace. When a sync_file is sent from
+the driver to userspace we call the fences it contains 'out-fences'. They are
+related to a buffer that the driver is processing or is going to process, so
+the driver create out-fences to be able to notify, through fence_signal(), when
+it has finished using (or processing) that buffer. Out-fences are fences that
+the driver creates.
+
+On the other hand if the driver receives fence(s) through a sync_file from
+userspace we call these fence(s) 'in-fences'. Receiveing in-fences means that
+we need to wait for the fence(s) to signal before using any buffer related to
+the in-fences.
+
+Creating Sync Files
+-------------------
+
+When a driver needs to send an out-fence userspace it creates a sync_file.
+
+Interface:
+	struct sync_file *sync_file_create(const char *name, struct fence *fence);
+
+The caller pass the name and the out-fence and gets back the sync_file. That is
+just the first step, next it needs to install an fd on sync_file->file. So it
+gets an fd:
+
+	fd = get_unused_fd_flags(O_CLOEXEC);
+
+and installs it on sync_file->file:
+
+	fd_install(fd, sync_file->file);
+
+The sync_file fd now can be sent to userspace.
+
+If the creation process fail, or the sync_file needs to be released by any
+other reason fput(sync_file->file) should be used.

Strictly speaking you can use sync_file fences without dma-bufs. E.g. when
your gpu uses something like shared virtual memory and directly access the
userspace address space there's not buffer handles involved, but you still
might want to pass around fences between drivers and/or processes. So
please drop dma-buf from the filename and everything else in here. It's ok
to mention that this is used together with buffers/processing, just as an
example.

A bit a run-on sentence above. Might want to split it.

With the above nitpicks fixed:

Ok I looked once more at all this stuff, and there's some nitpicks I
discussed with Gustavo on irc. But really their small, and I think
perfectly ok to address them once sync_file is destaged. Especially since
there's a lot more work pending on top of this, so we really want to get
sync_file.[hc] destaged in 4.7. It'll take us a few iterations and a few
drivers using this in anger in upstream to perfect the internal interfaces
anyway, but let's get this started.

Had some real nitpicks on the docs patch, but that can also be merged
later on imo. Except for that patch, on the series:
