Pull dma-buf updates from Sumit Semwal:
 "Here's the first signed-tag pull request for dma-buf framework.  It
  includes the following key items:
   - mmap support
   - vmap support
   - related documentation updates

  These are needed by various drivers to allow mmap/vmap of dma-buf
  shared buffers.  Dave Airlie has some prime patches dependent on the
  vmap pull as well."

For some cases the overhead of kmap can be too high, a vmap interface
is introduced. This interface should be used very carefully, as vmalloc
space is a limited resources on many architectures.
Interfaces:
void *dma_buf_vmap(struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
void dma_buf_vunmap(struct dma_buf *dmabuf, void *vaddr)
The vmap call can fail if there is no vmap support in the exporter, or if it
runs out of vmalloc space. Fallback to kmap should be implemented.

Direct Userspace Access/mmap Support
------------------------------------
Being able to mmap an export dma-buf buffer object has 2 main use-cases:
- CPU fallback processing in a pipeline and
- supporting existing mmap interfaces in importers.
1. CPU fallback processing in a pipeline
In many processing pipelines it is sometimes required that the cpu can access
the data in a dma-buf (e.g. for thumbnail creation, snapshots, ...). To avoid
the need to handle this specially in userspace frameworks for buffer sharing
it's ideal if the dma_buf fd itself can be used to access the backing storage
from userspace using mmap.
Furthermore Android's ION framework already supports this (and is otherwise
rather similar to dma-buf from a userspace consumer side with using fds as
handles, too). So it's beneficial to support this in a similar fashion on
dma-buf to have a good transition path for existing Android userspace.
No special interfaces, userspace simply calls mmap on the dma-buf fd.
2. Supporting existing mmap interfaces in exporters
Similar to the motivation for kernel cpu access it is again important that
the userspace code of a given importing subsystem can use the same interfaces
with a imported dma-buf buffer object as with a native buffer object. This is
especially important for drm where the userspace part of contemporary OpenGL,
X, and other drivers is huge, and reworking them to use a different way to
mmap a buffer rather invasive.
The assumption in the current dma-buf interfaces is that redirecting the
initial mmap is all that's needed. A survey of some of the existing
subsystems shows that no driver seems to do any nefarious thing like syncing
up with outstanding asynchronous processing on the device or allocating
special resources at fault time. So hopefully this is good enough, since
adding interfaces to intercept pagefaults and allow pte shootdowns would
increase the complexity quite a bit.
Interface:
int dma_buf_mmap(struct dma_buf *, struct vm_area_struct *,
unsigned long);
If the importing subsystem simply provides a special-purpose mmap call to set
up a mapping in userspace, calling do_mmap with dma_buf->file will equally
achieve that for a dma-buf object.
3. Implementation notes for exporters
Because dma-buf buffers have invariant size over their lifetime, the dma-buf
core checks whether a vma is too large and rejects such mappings. The
exporter hence does not need to duplicate this check.
Because existing importing subsystems might presume coherent mappings for
userspace, the exporter needs to set up a coherent mapping. If that's not
possible, it needs to fake coherency by manually shooting down ptes when
leaving the cpu domain and flushing caches at fault time. Note that all the
dma_buf files share the same anon inode, hence the exporter needs to replace
the dma_buf file stored in vma->vm_file with it's own if pte shootdown is
requred. This is because the kernel uses the underlying inode's address_space
for vma tracking (and hence pte tracking at shootdown time with
unmap_mapping_range).
If the above shootdown dance turns out to be too expensive in certain
scenarios, we can extend dma-buf with a more explicit cache tracking scheme
for userspace mappings. But the current assumption is that using mmap is
always a slower path, so some inefficiencies should be acceptable.
Exporters that shoot down mappings (for any reasons) shall not do any
synchronization at fault time with outstanding device operations.
Synchronization is an orthogonal issue to sharing the backing storage of a
buffer and hence should not be handled by dma-buf itself. This is explictly
mentioned here because many people seem to want something like this, but if
different exporters handle this differently, buffer sharing can fail in
interesting ways depending upong the exporter (if userspace starts depending
upon this implicit synchronization).
Miscellaneous notes
-------------------
@ -336,6 +417,20 @@ Miscellaneous notes
the exporting driver to create a dmabuf fd must provide a way to let
userspace control setting of O_CLOEXEC flag passed in to dma_buf_fd().
- If an exporter needs to manually flush caches and hence needs to fake
coherency for mmap support, it needs to be able to zap all the ptes pointing
at the backing storage. Now linux mm needs a struct address_space associated
with the struct file stored in vma->vm_file to do that with the function
unmap_mapping_range. But the dma_buf framework only backs every dma_buf fd
with the anon_file struct file, i.e. all dma_bufs share the same file.
Hence exporters need to setup their own file (and address_space) association
by setting vma->vm_file and adjusting vma->vm_pgoff in the dma_buf mmap
callback. In the specific case of a gem driver the exporter could use the
shmem file already provided by gem (and set vm_pgoff = 0). Exporters can then
zap ptes by unmapping the corresponding range of the struct address_space
associated with their own file.
