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.

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