Thanks for the review. I will remove this.

In our user scenario, DRM will import these buffers and check if this
is a restricted buffer. If yes, it will use secure GCE takes over.

If this judgment is not suitable to be placed in scatterlist. I don't
know if it is ok to limit this inside dma-buf. Adding such an
interface:

static bool dma_buf_is_restricted(struct dma_buf *dmabuf)
{
return !strncmp(dmabuf->exp_name, "restricted", 10);
}

Thanks.
