[PATCH v2 0/4] dma-buf: document revoke mechanism to invalidate shared buffers
From: Leon Romanovsky
Date: Sun Jan 18 2026 - 07:08:59 EST
Changelog:
v2:
* Changed series to document the revoke semantics instead of
implementing it.
v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260111-dmabuf-revoke-v1-0-fb4bcc8c259b@xxxxxxxxxx
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This series documents a dma-buf “revoke” mechanism: to allow a dma-buf
exporter to explicitly invalidate (“kill”) a shared buffer after it has
been distributed to importers, so that further CPU and device access is
prevented and importers reliably observe failure.
The change in this series is to properly document and use existing core
“revoked” state on the dma-buf object and a corresponding exporter-triggered
revoke operation. Once a dma-buf is revoked, new access paths are blocked so
that attempts to DMA-map, vmap, or mmap the buffer fail in a consistent way.
