Please see kerneldoc documentation for the proper format of these comments.

To me, this whole thing seems horribly racy.
What happens if subsystem X creates a dmabuf, which is passed to
userspace. It's then passed to subsystem Y, which starts making use
of it, calling dma_buf_map_attachment() on it.
The same buffer is also passed (via unix domain sockets) to another
program, which then passes it independently into subsystem Z, and
subsystem Z has more restrictive DMA constraints.
What happens at this point?
Subsystems such as DRM cache the scatter table, and return it for
subsequent attach calls, so DRM drivers using the default
drm_gem_map_dma_buf() implementation would not see the restrictions
placed upon the dmabuf. Moreover, the returned scatterlist would not
be modified for those restrictions either.
What would other subsystems do?
This needs more thought before it's merged.
For example, in the above situation, should we deny the ability to
create a new attachment when a dmabuf has already been mapped by an
existing attachment? Should we deny it only when the new attachment
has more restrictive DMA constraints?
Please consider the possible sequences of use (such as the scenario
above) when creating or augmenting an API.
