Re: [RFC v3 6/8] binder: Add a buffer flag to relinquish ownership of fds

This patch introduces a buffer flag BINDER_BUFFER_FLAG_SENDER_NO_NEED that a process sending an fd array to another process over binder IPC can set to relinquish ownership of the fds being sent for memory accounting purposes. If the flag is found to be set during the fd array translation and the fd is for a DMA-BUF, the buffer is uncharged from the sender's cgroup and charged to the receiving process's cgroup instead.

It is up to the sending process to ensure that it closes the fds regardless of whether the transfer failed or succeeded.

Most graphics shared memory allocations in Android are done by the graphics allocator HAL process. On requests from clients, the HAL process allocates memory and sends the fds to the clients over binder IPC. The graphics allocator HAL will not retain any references to the buffers. When the HAL sets the BINDER_BUFFER_FLAG_SENDER_NO_NEED for fd arrays holding DMA-BUF fds, the gpu cgroup controller will be able to correctly charge the buffers to the client processes instead of the graphics allocator HAL.

Since this is a new feature exposed to userspace, the kernel and userspace must be compatible for the accounting to work for transfers. In all cases the allocation and transport of DMA buffers via binder will succeed, but only when both the kernel supports, and userspace depends on this feature will the transfer accounting work. The possible scenarios are detailed below:

1. new kernel + old userspace

The kernel supports the feature but userspace does not use it. The old userspace won't mount the new cgroup controller, accounting is not performed, charge is not transferred.

2. old kernel + new userspace

The new cgroup controller is not supported by the kernel, accounting is not performed, charge is not transferred.

3. old kernel + old userspace

Same as #2

4. new kernel + new userspace

Cgroup is mounted, feature is supported and used.
