Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] habanalabs: define uAPI to export FD for DMA-BUF
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 2021 11:53:25 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210615085326.16134-1-ogabbay@kernel.org> (raw)
User process might want to share the device memory with another
driver/device, and to allow it to access it over PCIe (P2P).
To enable this, we utilize the dma-buf mechanism and add a dma-buf
exporter support, so the other driver can import the device memory and
access it.
The device memory is allocated using our existing allocation uAPI,
where the user will get a handle that represents the allocation.
The user will then need to call the new
uAPI (HL_MEM_OP_EXPORT_DMABUF_FD) and give the handle as a parameter.
The driver will return a FD that represents the DMA-BUF object that
was created to match that allocation.
