> This is the first step in defining a dma buffer sharing mechanism.
>
> A new buffer object dma_buf is added, with operations and API to allow easy
> sharing of this buffer object across devices.
>
> The framework allows:
> - creation of a buffer object, its association with a file pointer, and
> associated allocator-defined operations on that buffer. This operation is
> called the 'export' operation.
> - different devices to 'attach' themselves to this exported buffer object, to
> facilitate backing storage negotiation, using dma_buf_attach() API.
> - the exported buffer object to be shared with the other entity by asking for
> its 'file-descriptor (fd)', and sharing the fd across.
> - a received fd to get the buffer object back, where it can be accessed using
> the associated exporter-defined operations.
> - the exporter and user to share the scatterlist associated with this buffer
> object using map_dma_buf and unmap_dma_buf operations.
>
> Atleast one 'attach()' call is required to be made prior to calling the
> map_dma_buf() operation.
>
> Couple of building blocks in map_dma_buf() are added to ease introduction
> of sync'ing across exporter and users, and late allocation by the exporter.
>
> For this first version, this framework will work with certain conditions:
> - *ONLY* exporter will be allowed to mmap to userspace (outside of this
> framework - mmap is not a buffer object operation),
> - currently, *ONLY* users that do not need CPU access to the buffer are
> allowed.
>
> More details are there in the documentation patch.
>
> This is based on design suggestions from many people at the mini-summits[1],
> most notably from Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>, Rob Clark <rob at ti.com> and
> Daniel Vetter <daniel at ffwll.ch>.
>
> The implementation is inspired from proof-of-concept patch-set from
> Tomasz Stanislawski <t.stanislaws at samsung.com>, who demonstrated buffer sharing
> between two v4l2 devices. [2]

how about having sg_table here also? like this, struct sg_table *sgt;
now dmabuf->priv could have duplicated values.
I know that a private buffer object is set to dmabuf->priv when
dma_buf_export function is called. but when xxx_acquire_dmabuf
callback of vb2 side is called dmabuf->priv would have sg_table object
returned from dmabuf->ops->map_dma_buf() again to release the sg_table
with dmabuf->ops->unmap_dma_buf(). I'm not sure that this situation
could induce some problem but anyway confusing.
