USB-based drivers cannot use DMA, so the importing of dma-buf attachments currently fails for udl and gm12u320. This breaks joining/mirroring of displays. The fix is now a little series. To solve the issue on the importer side (i.e., the affected USB-based driver), patch 1 introduces a new PRIME callback, struct drm_driver.gem_prime_create_object, which creates an object and gives more control to the importing driver. Specifically, udl and gm12u320 can now avoid the creation of a scatter/gather table for the imported pages. Patch 1 is self-contained in the sense that it can be backported into older kernels. Patches 2 and 3 update SHMEM and CMA helpers to use the new callback. Effectively this moves the sg table setup from the PRIME helpers into the memory managers. SHMEM now supports devices without DMA support, so custom code can be removed from udl and g12u320. Tested by joining/mirroring displays of udl and radeon under Gnome/X11. v2: * move fix to importer side (Christian, Daniel) * update SHMEM and CMA helpers for new PRIME callbacks Thomas Zimmermann (3): drm: Support importing dmabufs into drivers without DMA drm/shmem-helper: Implement struct drm_driver.gem_prime_create_object drm/cma-helper: Implement struct drm_driver.gem_prime_create_object drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem_cma_helper.c | 62 ++++++++++++++----------- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem_shmem_helper.c | 38 ++++++++++----- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_prime.c | 43 +++++++++++------ drivers/gpu/drm/lima/lima_drv.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_drv.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_gem.c | 6 +-- drivers/gpu/drm/panfrost/panfrost_gem.h | 4 +- drivers/gpu/drm/pl111/pl111_drv.c | 8 ++-- drivers/gpu/drm/v3d/v3d_bo.c | 6 +-- drivers/gpu/drm/v3d/v3d_drv.c | 2 +- drivers/gpu/drm/v3d/v3d_drv.h | 5 +- include/drm/drm_drv.h | 12 +++++ include/drm/drm_gem_cma_helper.h | 12 ++--- include/drm/drm_gem_shmem_helper.h | 6 +-- 14 files changed, 120 insertions(+), 88 deletions(-) -- 2.30.1
