This is a simple test module that can be used to allocate, export and delete DMA-BUF objects. It can be used to test DMA-BUF sharing in systems that lack a real second driver.

CMA on AArch64

by Laura Abbott

Hi, I noticed there is currently no CMA support for AArch64. Is this already on someone's TODO list or is this still open? Thanks, Laura -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation

[PATCH] dma-buf: avoid using IS_ERR_OR_NULL

by Colin Cross

dma_buf_map_attachment and dma_buf_vmap can return NULL or ERR_PTR on a error. This encourages a common buggy pattern in callers: sgt = dma_buf_map_attachment(attach, DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL); if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(sgt)) return PTR_ERR(sgt); This causes the caller to return 0 on an error. IS_ERR_OR_NULL is almost always a sign of poorly-defined error handling. This patch converts dma_buf_map_attachment to always return ERR_PTR, and fixes the callers that incorrectly handled NULL. There are a few more callers that were not checking for NULL at all, which would have dereferenced a NULL pointer later. There are also a few more callers that correctly handled NULL and ERR_PTR differently, I left those alone but they could also be modified to delete the NULL check. This patch also converts dma_buf_vmap to always return NULL. All the callers to dma_buf_vmap only check for NULL, and would have dereferenced an ERR_PTR and panic'd if one was ever returned. This is not consistent with the rest of the dma buf APIs, but matches the expectations of all of the callers.

[PATCH v4 0/3] Add support of dmabuf in wayland/weston

by benjamin.gaignard＠linaro.org

From: Benjamin Gaignard <benjamin.gaignard(a)linaro.org> The goal of this serie of patches is to add a way to use dmabuf file descriptor inside wayland and weston. In a context where there is no Mesa EGL (and so no wl_drm protocol) wl_dmabuf could be used as an alternative to shm to share buffers between hardware devices. If your hardware device (video decoder, renderer, etc...) need physical contiguous memory (obviously don't have MMU) wl_dmabuf may save the cost of one copy compare to shm. shm case: videodecoder --(copy into shm_buffer)--> weston(+pixman) --> HW renderer dmabuf case: videodecoder --(directly write in dmabuf buffer)--> weston(+pixman) --> HW renderer The server is responsible to send its supported pixel formats and the device name to be used by the client to allocate buffers. While mmap() call on dmabuf file descriptor result isn't guaranty on all architectures both server and client should take care of it before accessing to buffer data to avoid segfault. This series of patches include wayland and weston modifications. An example of how use wl_dmabuf is provided in weston/clients/simple-dmabuf.c === Wayland === Benjamin Gaignard (1): Add wl_dmabuf protocol protocol/Makefile.am | 6 +- protocol/wayland-dmabuf.xml | 128 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/Makefile.am | 12 ++- src/wayland-dmabuf.c | 231 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/wayland-dmabuf.h | 123 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 496 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 protocol/wayland-dmabuf.xml create mode 100644 src/wayland-dmabuf.c create mode 100644 src/wayland-dmabuf.h === Weston === Benjamin Gaignard (2): compositor-drm: allow to be a wl_dmabuf server add simple-dmabuf client clients/Makefile.am | 11 ++ clients/simple-dmabuf.c | 469 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ configure.ac | 5 + src/compositor-drm.c | 83 ++++++++- src/compositor.c | 4 +- src/compositor.h | 2 + src/pixman-renderer.c | 93 +++++++--- 7 files changed, 637 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) create mode 100644 clients/simple-dmabuf.c -- 1.7.9.5

Specifying subrect properties in dma-buf

by Sundareson, Prabindh

Hello all, I have an use-case, where a buffer "B" needs to be further operated upon by an additional operator (ex, CPU or 2D HW). The further operation is typically in smaller subrects of "B". While looking through the dma-buf API, I do not see a way by which I can specify properties of subrects in a buffer which can be specified as "read-only" to one user of the buffer, while the other user can go ahead and update it. If we have this mechanism, we can do below steps to reduce latency of locking/waiting for one full buffer update, and then making it available to the next consumer. (1) Create dma-buf using usual methods (2) Exported to 2 users - ex GPU, and 2D HW (3) GPU updates specific subrects (4) 2D HW updates specific subrects (5) When both (3) and (4) are complete, the buffer is available to next consumer. Since (3) and (4) can run in parallel, latency can be reduced. If there is a way by which this can already be done, I would appreciate if someone can point me to it. regards Prabindh
