Importing dmabuf into a USB-based driver fails, which break joining and mirroring of display in X11.

Why isn't this an issue with the existing storage or v4l USB devices?I don't know about vc4 or storage. My guess is that they don't call dma_map_sgtable() for devices with dma_mask. Ideally, USB DRM devices wouldn't do that either, but, as Daniel explained, DRM's PRIME framework expects a dma_mask on the importing device. The real fix would move this from framework to drivers, so that each driver can import the dmabuf according to its capabilities. I tried to do this with v2 of this patch, but I was not feasible at this time. For this to work, we'd have rework at least 3 drivers, the PRIME framework and the dmabuf framework. I don't think the stable maintainer would be keen on merging that. ;)Why not? If it fixes an issue that has been reported, we've taken bigger for smaller bugs :)The problem is also that I can't just invent a bunch of people out of thin are to make it happen. If you have them, please send them over, there's lots to do here :-)Wrt your question about the USB core: what we do here is a workaround for dmabuf importing. The DRM USB drivers don't even use the resulting page mapping directly. Putting the workaround into the USB core is maybe not useful. If we ever use DMA directly for streaming framebuffers to the device, thinks might be different.Then I really do not understand the issue here. Why are you wanting to grab a "naked" reference to the usb host controller device here? What ensures that it is correct (hint, lots of host controllers do not handle dma), and what prevents it from going away underneath you?We know it's not correct, it's just a hack. We never use this even, it's just there to not have to rewrite/audit large chunks of drm code.If you don't need the device, then why do you need a pointer to it? Now I'm totally lost and confused what this patch is even supposed to be doing in the first place :( Is all you need that magic "mask"? Something else?
We only need the dma_mask field. importing currently fails at [1]. As the driver doesn't use DMA, it really doesn't matter which device provides it.
Again, passing around "naked" pointers is going to cause problems, what happens when the bus is removed from the system?
If this requires locks, we can certainly hold them while being in the new helper function. After we completed the import, we don't have to care any longer about the devices involved.
