From: Tina Zhang
Date: Thu Nov 09 2017 - 04:39:50 EST


v16->v17:
1) modify VFIO_DEVICE_GET_GFX_DMABUF interface. (Alex)
2) add comments for x_hot/y_hot. (Gerd)

v15->v16:
1) add cursor hotspot fields in struct vfio_device_gfx_plane_info. (Gerd)
2) clean up some typos and add comments for VFIO_DEVICE_QUERY_GFX_PLANE. (Alex)
3) seperate the GEM Proxy part to another patch-set. (Joonas and Chris)
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gvt-dev/2017-November/002377.html
4) please note that this patch-set needs 3) to be applied first.
5) rebase to 4.14.0-rc6.


v14->15:
1) add VFIO_DEVICE_GET_GFX_DMABUF ABI. (Gerd)
2) add intel_vgpu_dmabuf_cleanup() to clean up the vGPU's dmabuf. (Gerd)

v13->v14:
1) add PROBE, DMABUF and REGION flags. (Alex)
2) return -ENXIO when gem proxy object is banned by ioctl.
(Chris) (Daniel)
3) add some details about the float pixel format. (Daniel)
4) add F suffix to the defined name. (Daniel)
5) refine pixel format table. (Zhenyu)

v12->v13:
1) add comments to GEM proxy. (Chris)
2) don't ban GEM proxy in i915_gem_sw_finish_ioctl. (Chris)
3) check GEM proxy bar after finishing i915_gem_object_wait. (Chris)
4) remove GEM proxy bar in i915_gem_madvise_ioctl.

v11->v12:
1) add drm_format_mod back. (Gerd and Zhenyu)
2) add region_index. (Gerd)
3) refine the lifecycle of dmabuf.
4) send to dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org. (Ville)

v10->v11:
1) rename plane_type to drm_plane_type. (Gerd)
2) move fields of vfio_device_query_gfx_plane to
vfio_device_gfx_plane_info. (Gerd)
3) remove drm_format_mod, start fields. (Daniel)
4) remove plane_id.

v9->v10:
1) remove dma-buf management
2) refine the ABI API VFIO_DEVICE_QUERY_GFX_PLANE
3) track the dma-buf create and release in kernel mode

v8->v9:
1) refine the dma-buf ioctl definition
2) add a lock to protect the dmabuf list
3) move drm format change to a separate patch
4) codes cleanup

v7->v8:
1) refine framebuffer decoder code
2) fix a bug in decoding primary plane

v6->v7:
1) release dma-buf related allocations in dma-buf's associated release
function.
2) refine ioctl interface for querying plane info or create dma-buf
3) refine framebuffer decoder code
4) the patch series is based on 4.12.0-rc1

v5->v6:
1) align the dma-buf life cycle with the vfio device.
2) add the dma-buf related operations in a separate patch.
3) i915 releated changes.

v4->v5:
1) fix bug while checking whether the gem obj is gvt's dma-buf when user
change caching mode or domains. Add a helper function to do it.
2) add definition for the query plane and create dma-buf.

v3->v4:
1) fix bug while checking whether the gem obj is gvt's dma-buf when set
caching mode or doamins.

v2->v3:
1) add a field gvt_plane_info in the drm_i915_gem_obj structure to save
the decoded plane information to avoid look up while need the plane info.
2) declare a new flag I915_GEM_OBJECT_IS_GVT_DMABUF in drm_i915_gem_object
to represent the gem obj for gvt's dma-buf. The tiling mode, caching mode
and domains can not be changed for this kind of gem object.
3) change dma-buf related information to be more generic. So other vendor
can use the same interface.

v1->v2:
1) create a management fd for dma-buf operations.
2) alloc gem object's backing storage in gem obj's get_pages() callback.

This patch set adds the dma-buf support for intel GVT-g.

dma-buf is an uniform mechanism to share DMA buffers across different
devices and subsystems. dma-buf for intel GVT-g is mainly used to share
the vgpu's framebuffer to userspace to leverage userspace graphics stacks
to render the framebuffer to the display monitor.

The main idea is that we create a gem object and set vgpu's framebuffer as
its backing storage. Then, export a dma-buf associated with this gem object.
With the fd of this dma-buf, userspace can directly handle this buffer.

This patch set can be tried with the following example:
