open list:DRM DRIVER FOR NVIDIA GPUS [RUST]
Now that my rust skills have been honed, I noticed that there's a lot of
generics in our gem bindings that don't actually need to be here. Currently
the hierarchy of traits in our gem bindings looks like this:
* Drivers implement:
* BaseDriverObject<T: DriverObject> (has the callbacks)
* DriverObject (has the drm::Driver type)
* Crate implements:
* IntoGEMObject for Object<T> where T: DriverObject
Handles conversion to/from raw object pointers
* BaseObject for T where T: IntoGEMObject
Provides methods common to all gem interfaces
Also of note, this leaves us with two different drm::Driver associated
types:
* DriverObject::Driver
* IntoGEMObject::Driver
I'm not entirely sure of the original intent here unfortunately (if anyone
is, please let me know!), but my guess is that the idea would be that some
objects can implement IntoGEMObject using a different ::Driver than
DriverObject - presumably to enable the usage of gem objects from different
drivers. A reasonable usecase of course.
However - if I'm not mistaken, I don't think that this is actually how
things would go in practice. Driver implementations are of course
implemented by their associated drivers, and generally drivers are not
linked to each-other when building the kernel. Which is to say that even in
a situation where we would theoretically deal with gem objects from another
driver, we still wouldn't have access to its drm::driver::Driver
implementation. It's more likely we would simply want a variant of gem
objects in such a situation that have no association with a
drm::driver::Driver type.
Taking that into consideration, we can assume the following:
* Anything that implements BaseDriverObject will implement DriverObject
In other words, all BaseDriverObjects indirectly have an associated
::Driver type - so the two traits can be combined into one with no
generics.
* Not everything that implements IntoGEMObject will have an associated
::Driver, and that's OK.
And with this, we now can do quite a bit of cleanup with the use of
generics here. As such, this commit:
* Removes the generics on BaseDriverObject
* Moves DriverObject::Driver into BaseDriverObject
* Removes DriverObject
* Removes IntoGEMObject::Driver
* Add AllocImpl::Driver, which we can use as a binding to figure out the
correct File type for BaseObject
Leaving us with a simpler trait hierarchy that now looks like this:
* Drivers implement: BaseDriverObject
* Crate implements:
* IntoGEMObject for Object<T> where T: DriverObject
* BaseObject for T where T: IntoGEMObject
Which makes the code a lot easier to understand and build on :).

V2:
* Don't refer to Object<T> in callbacks, as this would result in drivers
getting the wrong gem object type for shmem gem objects once we add
support for those. Instead, we'll just add a type alias to clean this
part up.
V3:
* Fix nova compilation
* Also, add an associated driver type to AllocImpl - as we still need the
current driver accessible from BaseObject so that we can use the driver's
various associated types, like File
V4:
* Add missing Object = Self constraint to type bounds for create_handle,
lookup_handle. I forgot that if drivers can have private gem objects with
a different data layout, we can only guarantee gem objects with handles
are of the same gem object type as the main one in use by the driver.

Whoops! Usually the way that I keep track of my changelogs is by typing them
in squash! commits, and then leaving them below the patch cutline once I
squash everything. It looks like at some point I mistakenly typed V4: on one
of the squash commits instead of V3: and didn't catch it. So, that comment is
definitely for V3 - not V4 which doesn't exist yet

open list:DRM DRIVER FOR NVIDIA GPUS [RUST]
One of the original intents with the gem bindings was that drivers could
specify additional gem implementations, in order to enable for driver
private gem objects. This wasn't really possible however, as up until now
our GEM bindings have always assumed that the only GEM object we would run
into was driver::Driver::Object - meaning that implementing another GEM
object type would result in all of the BaseDriverObject callbacks assuming
the wrong type.
This is a pretty easy fix though, all we need to do is specify a
BaseDriverObject in driver::Driver instead of an AllocImpl, and then add an
associated type for AllocImpl in BaseDriverObject. That way each
BaseDriverObject has its own AllocImpl allowing it to know which type to
provide in BaseDriverObject callbacks, and driver::Driver can simply go
through the BaseDriverObject to its AllocImpl type in order to get access
to ALLOC_OPS.
So, let's do this and update Nova for these changes.

V4:
* Update trait bounds. This looks gnarlier then it is:
Self: AllocImpl<Driver = D>, <-- Get the driver for this GEM object
D: drm::Driver<Object = O, File = F>, <-- Get the driver's Object, File
impl
F: drm::file::DriverFile,
O: BaseDriverObject<Object = Self>, <-- Make sure we're the driver's
main GEM object impl.
(don't worry, the compiler can always figure out what D, F, O are)
* Also, rename the commit. I realized I should be clearer about what this
does so people can stop me if this isn't what was meant by private gem
object implementations :).

With gem objects in rust, the most ideal way for us to be able to handle
gem shmem object creation is to be able to handle the memory allocation of
a gem object ourselves - and then have the DRM gem shmem helpers initialize
the object we've allocated afterwards. So, let's spit out
drm_gem_shmem_init() from drm_gem_shmem_create() to allow for doing this.

At the moment the way that freeing gem shmem objects is not ideal for rust
bindings. drm_gem_shmem_free() releases all of the associated memory with a
gem shmem object with kfree(), which means that for us to correctly release
a gem shmem object in rust we have to manually drop all of the contents of
our gem object structure in-place by hand before finally calling
drm_gem_shmem_free() to release the shmem resources and the allocation for
the gem object.
Since the only reason this is an issue is because of drm_gem_shmem_free()
calling kfree(), we can fix this by splitting drm_gem_shmem_free() out into
itself and drm_gem_shmem_release(), where drm_gem_shmem_release() releases
the various gem shmem resources without freeing the structure itself. With
this, we can safely re-acquire the KBox for the gem object's memory
allocation and let rust handle cleaning up all of the other struct members
automatically.

The DRM shmem helper includes common code useful for drivers which
allocate GEM objects as anonymous shmem. Add a Rust abstraction for
this. Drivers can choose the raw GEM implementation or the shmem layer,
depending on their needs.

V2:
* Use the drm_gem_shmem_init() and drm_gem_shmem_release() that I extracted
so we can handle memory allocation in rust, which means we no longer have
to handle freeing rust members of the struct by hand and have a closer
implementation to the main gem object
(this also gets rid of gem_create_object)
* Get rid of GemObjectRef and UniqueGemObjectRef, we have ARef<T> at home.
* Use Device<T::Driver> in Object<T>
* Cleanup Object::<T>::new() a bit:
* Cleanup safety comment
* Use cast_mut()
* Just import container_of!(), we use it all over anyhow
* mut_shmem() -> as_shmem(), make it safe (there's no reason for being unsafe)
* Remove any *const and *muts in structs, just use NonNull
* Get rid of the previously hand-rolled sg_table bindings in shmem, use the
bindings from Abdiel's sg_table patch series
* Add a TODO at the top about DMA reservation APIs and a desire for WwMutex
* Get rid of map_wc() and replace it with a new ObjectConfig struct. While
it currently only specifies the map_wc flag, the idea here is that
settings like map_wc() and parent_resv_obj() shouldn't be exposed as
normal functions since the only place where it's safe to set them is
when we're still guaranteed unique access to the GEM object, e.g. before
returning it to the caller. Using a struct instead of individual
arguments here is mainly because we'll be adding at least one more
argument, and there's enough other gem shmem settings that trying to add
all of them as individual function arguments in the future would be a bit
messy.
* Get rid of vm_numa_fields!, Lina didn't like this macro much either and I
think that it's fine for us to just specify the #[cfg(…)] attributes by
hand since we only need to do it twice.
* Set drm_gem_object_funcs.vm_ops directly to drm_gem_shmem_vm_ops, don't
export the various shmem funcs. I'm not sure why this wasn't possible
before but it seems to work fine now.

Currently we expose the ability to retrieve an SGTable for an shmem gem
object using gem::shmem::Object::<T>::sg_table(). However, this only gives us a
borrowed reference. This being said - retrieving an SGTable is a fallible
operation, and as such it's reasonable that a driver may want to hold
onto an SGTable for longer then a reference would allow in order to avoid
having to deal with fallibility every time they want to access the SGTable.
One such driver with this usecase is the Asahi driver.
So to support this, let's introduce SGTableRef - which both holds a
pointer to the SGTable and a reference to its respective GEM object in
order to keep the GEM object alive for as long as the SGTableRef. The
type can be used identically to a normal SGTable.

V3:
* Rename OwnedSGTable to SGTableRef. Since the current version of the
SGTable abstractions now has a `Owned` and `Borrowed` variant, I think
renaming this to SGTableRef makes things less confusing.
We do however, keep the name of owned_sg_table() as-is.

In order to implement the gem export callback, we need a type to represent
struct dma_buf. So - this commit introduces a set of stub bindings for
dma_buf. These bindings provide a ref-counted DmaBuf object, but don't
currently implement any functionality for using the DmaBuf.

moderated list:DMA BUFFER SHARING FRAMEWORK:Keyword:bdma_(?:buf|fence|resv)b
We just added an export() callback that GEM objects can implement, but
without any way of actually exporting a DmaBuf<T>. So let's add one by
introducing bindings for drm_gem_prime_export().
