[PATCH] accel/ivpu: Reject PRIME export of userptr BOs

From: Ziyi Guo

Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 12:29:15 EST


Userptr BOs wrap pinned user pages in a private dma-buf solely for
internal use by the NPU driver. Allowing userspace to re-export such a
BO via DRM_IOCTL_PRIME_HANDLE_TO_FD would expose those pages to other
drivers through an interface that was never intended to be shared.

Override the driver's prime_handle_to_fd callback to detect dma-bufs
backed by ivpu_gem_userptr_dmabuf_ops and reject the export with
-EINVAL.
