[PATCH RFC 08/18] accel/qda: Add per-file DRM context and open/close handling

From: Ekansh Gupta

Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 14:16:52 EST


Introduce per-file and per-user context for the QDA DRM accelerator
driver. A new qda_file_priv structure is stored in file->driver_priv
for each open file descriptor, and a qda_user object is allocated per
client with a unique client_id generated from an atomic counter in
qda_dev.

The DRM driver now provides qda_open() and qda_postclose() callbacks.
qda_open() resolves the qda_dev from the drm_device, allocates the
qda_file_priv and qda_user structures, and attaches them to the DRM
file. qda_postclose() tears down the per-file context and frees the
qda_user object when the file is closed.

This prepares the QDA driver to track per-process state for future
features such as per-client memory mappings, job submission contexts,
and access control over DSP compute resources.
