The userspace might need some sort of cache coherency management e.g. when CPU and GPU domains are being accessed through dma-buf at the same time. To circumvent this problem there are begin/end coherency markers, that forward directly to existing dma-buf device drivers vfunc hooks. Userspace can make use of those markers through the DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC ioctl. The sequence would be used like following: - mmap dma-buf fd - for each drawing/upload cycle in CPU 1. SYNC_START ioctl, 2. read/write to mmap area 3. SYNC_END ioctl. This can be repeated as often as you want (with the new data being consumed by the GPU or say scanout device) - munmap once you don't need the buffer any more
v2 (Tiago): Fix header file type names (u64 -> __u64) v3 (Tiago): Add documentation. Use enum dma_buf_sync_flags to the begin/end dma-buf functions. Check for overflows in start/length. v4 (Tiago): use 2d regions for sync. v5 (Tiago): forget about 2d regions (v4); use _IOW in DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC and remove range information from struct dma_buf_sync. v6 (Tiago): use __u64 structured padded flags instead enum. Adjust documentation about the recommendation on using sync ioctls. v7 (Tiago): Alex' nit on flags definition and being even more wording in the doc about sync usage. v9 (Tiago): remove useless is_dma_buf_file check. Fix sync.flags conditionals and its mask order check. Add <linux/types.h> include in dma-buf.h.

I left SYNC_START and SYNC_END exclusive, just how the logic was before. If we see an useful use case, maybe like the way David said, to store two frames next to each other in the same BO, we can patch up later fairly easily.
About the ioctl direction, just like Ville pointed, we're doing only copy_from_user at the moment and seems that _IOW is all we need. So I also didn't touch anything on that.
David, Ville PTAL. Thank you,
Tiago

So it's beneficial to support this in a similar fashion on dma-buf to have a good transition path for existing Android userspace.
