Add DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC_PARTIAL support for user to sync dma-buf with
offset and len.
You have not given an use case for this so it is a bit hard to
review. And from the existing use cases I don't see why this should
be necessary.
Even worse from the existing backend implementation I don't even
see how drivers should be able to fulfill this semantics.
Please explain further,
Christian.
Here is a practical case:
The user space can allocate a large chunk of dma-buf for
self-management, used as a shared memory pool.
Small dma-buf can be allocated from this shared memory pool and
released back to it after use, thus improving the speed of dma-buf
allocation and release.
Additionally, custom functionalities such as memory statistics and
boundary checking can be implemented in the user space.
Of course, the above-mentioned functionalities require the
implementation of a partial cache sync interface.
Well that is obvious, but where is the code doing that?
You can't send out code without an actual user of it. That will
obviously be rejected.

Christian.
In fact, we have already used the user-level dma-buf memory pool in
the camera shooting scenario on the phone.
From the test results, The execution time of the photo shooting
algorithm has been reduced from 3.8s to 3s.
To be honest, I didn't understand your concern "...how drivers should
be able to fulfill this semantics." Can you please help explain it in
more detail?
Well you don't give any upstream driver code which actually uses this
interface.
If you want to suggest some changes to the core Linux kernel your driver
actually needs to be upstream.
As long as that isn't the case this approach here is a completely no-go.

Christian.
