DRM Sync Objects are a container for a DMA fence, and can be waited on
signaled, exported, and imported from userspace. Add a Rust abstraction
so Rust DRM drivers can support this functionality.

Just an aside, but the semantics of this are nasty: You're not allowed to
hold any locks while calling this. We have runtime checks for that (if you
enable lockdep), but I don't see any way to encode that on the rust side
and check it at compile time :-/

Oof, yeah, that's not possible today. Maybe in the future though, it's similar to the execution context stuff...

+        unsafe { bindings::drm_syncobj_add_point(self.ptr, chain.into_raw(), fence.raw(), point) };

+impl Drop for SyncObj {
+    fn drop(&mut self) {

So yeah syncobj are refcounted because they're shareable uapi objects (you
can pass them around as fd), but that really should be entirely the
subsystems business, not for drivers.

This is kinda like drm_file, which is also refcounted (by virtue of
hanging of struct file), but the refcounting is entirely handled by the
vfs and all drivers get is a borrowed reference, which nicely bounds the
lifetime to the callback (which is usually an ioctl handler). I think we
want the same semantics for syncobj, because if a driver is hanging onto a
syncobj for longer than the ioctl. If my rust understanding is right we'd
get that by dropping Clone here and relying on lookup_handle only being
able to return stuff that's bound by the drm_file?

Yeah, that should work! Lifetimes are perfect for this kind of stuff. I need to test it out and see what the right way to do it is (lifetime parameter or actual reference straight into the drm_syncobj) and see how it fits into the driver but I don't see why it wouldn't work, since I don't hold onto sync objects for longer than the ioctl. Might just need some minor refactoring since the current driver ioctl code wasn't written with lifetimes in mind ^^

People are talking about drivers holding onto syncobj for longer, but I'm
still not sold on the idea that this is any good and doesn't just bend the
dma_fence and syncobj rules a bit too much over the breaking point. For
kernel drivers it really should be just a different way to lookup and
return dma_fence from the ioctl, pretty much matching what you could also
do with sync_file (but since syncobj provides generic compat ioctl to
convert to/from sync_file drivders only need to handle syncobj).

Yeah, if you think restricting the API for this on the Rust side makes sense it works for me! I'm all for not abstracting features that aren't considered particularly useful/safe/a good idea.
