Splitting this helper from the only caller is rather strange, epecially
with the two unused arguments. And I think the way this is specified
to take a range, but ignoring it is actively dangerous. User space will
rely on it syncing everything sooner or later and then you are stuck.
So just define a sync all primitive for now, and if you really need a
range sync and have actually implemented it add a new ioctl for that.
We do already have a split of ioctl "layer" which enforces valid ioctl
params, etc, and gem (or other) module code which is called by the
ioctl func. So I think it is fine to keep this split here. (Also, I
think at some point there will be a uring type of ioctl alternative
which would re-use the same gem func.)
But I do agree that the range should be respected or added later..
drm_ioctl() dispatch is well prepared for extending ioctls.
And I assume there should be some validation that the range is aligned
to cache-line? Or can we flush a partial cache line?
The range is intended to be "sync at least this range", so that
userspace doesn't have to worry about details like that.
