[Linaro-mm-sig] [PATCH 11/15] accel/qda: Add PRIME DMA-BUF import support

19 May 2026

From: Ekansh Gupta ekansh.gupta@oss.qualcomm.com
Allow user-space to import DMA-BUF file descriptors from other
subsystems (GPU, camera, video) into the QDA driver via the standard
DRM PRIME interface.
qda_prime.c
  Implements qda_gem_prime_import(), which is set as the driver's
  .gem_prime_import callback. On import it:
  1. Short-circuits self-import: if the dma_buf was exported by this
     device and is not itself an import, the existing GEM object is
     returned with an incremented reference count.
  2. Attaches to the dma_buf and maps it with DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL via
     dma_buf_map_attachment_unlocked(), obtaining an sg_table whose
     DMA addresses are IOMMU virtual addresses in the CB device's
     address space.
  3. Calls qda_memory_manager_alloc() to record the IOMMU mapping and
     encode the SID in the upper 32 bits of the DMA address, matching
     the convention used for natively allocated buffers.
qda_prime_fd_to_handle() wraps drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle() under
  qdev->import_lock, storing the calling file_priv in
  qdev->current_import_file_priv so that qda_gem_prime_import() can
  retrieve it (the .gem_prime_import callback does not receive
  file_priv directly).
qda_gem.c
  qda_gem_free_object() is extended to handle the imported-buffer
  teardown path: unmap the sg_table, detach from the dma_buf, and
  release the dma_buf reference.
  qda_gem_mmap_obj() rejects mmap requests on imported objects.
qda_memory_manager.c
  qda_memory_manager_map_imported() records the IOMMU-mapped DMA
  address from the first sg entry (the IOMMU maps the buffer as a
  contiguous range) and encodes the SID prefix.
  qda_memory_manager_free() skips the DMA free path for imported
  buffers since the memory is owned by the exporter.
