Add the necessary infrastructure to the IIO core to support a new optional DMABUF based interface.
With this new interface, DMABUF objects (externally created) can be attached to a IIO buffer, and subsequently used for data transfer.
A userspace application can then use this interface to share DMABUF objects between several interfaces, allowing it to transfer data in a zero-copy fashion, for instance between IIO and the USB stack.
The userspace application can also memory-map the DMABUF objects, and access the sample data directly. The advantage of doing this vs. the read() interface is that it avoids an extra copy of the data between the kernel and userspace. This is particularly userful for high-speed devices which produce several megabytes or even gigabytes of data per second.
As part of the interface, 3 new IOCTLs have been added:
IIO_BUFFER_DMABUF_ATTACH_IOCTL(int fd): Attach the DMABUF object identified by the given file descriptor to the buffer.
IIO_BUFFER_DMABUF_DETACH_IOCTL(int fd): Detach the DMABUF object identified by the given file descriptor from the buffer. Note that closing the IIO buffer's file descriptor will automatically detach all previously attached DMABUF objects.
IIO_BUFFER_DMABUF_ENQUEUE_IOCTL(struct iio_dmabuf *): Request a data transfer to/from the given DMABUF object. Its file descriptor, as well as the transfer size and flags are provided in the "iio_dmabuf" structure.
These three IOCTLs have to be performed on the IIO buffer's file descriptor, obtained using the IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL() ioctl.

v2: Only allow the new IOCTLs on the buffer FD created with IIO_BUFFER_GET_FD_IOCTL().
v3: - Get rid of the old IOCTLs. The IIO subsystem does not create or manage DMABUFs anymore, and only attaches/detaches externally created DMABUFs. - Add IIO_BUFFER_DMABUF_CYCLIC to the supported flags.

Kind of a nitpick but I only see this being used once so I would maybe use plain 'container_of()' as you are already doing for:
... = container_of(ref, struct iio_dmabuf_priv, ref);
So I would at least advocate for consistency. I would also probably ditch the inline but I guess that is more a matter of style/preference.
Yep, at least it should be consistent.

Is this intended? Looks suspicious...
It is intended, yes. You want to release the dma_buf_attachment that's created in iio_buffer_attach_dmabuf(), and you need to call iio_buffer_find_attachment() to get a pointer to it, which also gets a second reference - so it needs to unref twice.
I see..

Hmmm, what about the legacy buffer? We should also support this interface using it, right? Otherwise, using one of the new IOCTL in iio_device_buffer_ioctl() (or /dev/iio:device0) will error out.
According to Jonathan the old chardev route is deprecated, and it's fine not to support the IOCTL there.
Oh, alright then... Better that way indeed!
