From the view point of ZeroCopy using DMABUF, is 5.4 not mature enough, and is 5.10 enough mature ? This is the most important point for judging migration.
How do you judge "mature"?
And again, if a feature isn't present in a specific kernel version, why would you think that it would be a viable solution for you to use?
I'm pretty sure dma_get_sgtable has been around much longer and was supposed to work, but only really did work properly for arm32, and for platforms with coherent DMA. I bet he is using non-coherent arm64, and it would be broken for other drivers there as well if people did test them, which they apparently so far did not.
