dma-buf: change DMA-buf locking convention v3
This patch is a stripped down version of the locking changes
necessary to support dynamic DMA-buf handling.
It adds a dynamic flag for both importers as well as exporters
so that drivers can choose if they want the reservation object
locked or unlocked during mapping of attachments.
For compatibility between drivers we cache the DMA-buf mapping
during attaching an importer as soon as exporter/importer
disagree on the dynamic handling.
Issues and solutions we considered:
- We can't change all existing drivers, and existing improters have
strong opinions about which locks they're holding while calling
dma_buf_attachment_map/unmap. Exporters also have strong opinions about
which locks they can acquire in their ->map/unmap callbacks, levaing no
room for change. The solution to avoid this was to move the
actual map/unmap out from this call, into the attach/detach callbacks,
and cache the mapping. This works because drivers don't call
attach/detach from deep within their code callchains (like deep in
memory management code called from cs/execbuf ioctl), but directly from
the fd2handle implementation.
- The caching has some troubles on some soc drivers, which set other modes
than DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL. We can't have 2 incompatible mappings, and we
can't re-create the mapping at _map time due to the above locking fun.
We very carefuly step around that by only caching at attach time if the
dynamic mode between importer/expoert mismatches.
- There's been quite some discussion on dma-buf mappings which need active
cache management, which would all break down when caching, plus we don't
have explicit flush operations on the attachment side. The solution to
this was to shrug and keep the current discrepancy between what the
dma-buf docs claim and what implementations do, with the hope that the
begin/end_cpu_access hooks are good enough and that all necessary
flushing to keep device mappings consistent will be done there.
v2: cleanup set_name merge, improve kerneldoc
v3: update commit message, kerneldoc and cleanup _debug_show()
