[PATCH v3 02/15] [media] vb2: add explicit fence user API

From: Gustavo Padovan
Date: Thu Sep 07 2017 - 14:42:51 EST


From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Turn the reserved2 field into fence_fd that we will use to send
an in-fence to the kernel and return an out-fence from the kernel to
userspace.

Two new flags were added, V4L2_BUF_FLAG_IN_FENCE, that should be used
when sending a fence to the kernel to be waited on, and
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_OUT_FENCE, to ask the kernel to give back an out-fence.

v2: add documentation
