[PATCH v5 17/18] dma-buf: Let importers ask how peer-to-peer traffic is routed

From: Leon Romanovsky

Date: Thu Sep 10 2026 - 07:41:33 EST


From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx>

Exporters keep the &struct p2pdma_provider in their own private data and
hand it to dma_buf_phys_vec_to_sgt() on every map. An importer cannot reach
it, so it has no way to learn how its own peer-to-peer traffic would be
routed before it programs its hardware.

Publish the provider through &struct dma_buf_export_info instead, and add
dma_buf_p2pdma_map_type() for importers to query it by TLP class. It is
fixed at export time, so dma_buf_phys_vec_to_sgt() no longer needs it as an
argument and the two exporters no longer need a copy of it.
