Hello,

This series moves all drivers to a dynamic dma-buf locking specification.
>From now on all dma-buf importers are made responsible for holding
dma-buf's reservation lock around all operations performed over dma-bufs
in accordance to the locking specification. This allows us to utilize
reservation lock more broadly around kernel without fearing of a potential
deadlocks.

This patchset passes all i915 selftests. It was also tested using VirtIO,
Panfrost, Lima, Tegra, udmabuf, AMDGPU and Nouveau drivers. I tested cases
of display+GPU, display+V4L and GPU+V4L dma-buf sharing (where appropriate),
which covers majority of kernel drivers since rest of the drivers share
same or similar code paths.

Changelog:

v3: - Factored out dma_buf_mmap_unlocked() and attachment functions
      into aseparate patches, like was suggested by Christian König.

    - Corrected and factored out dma-buf locking documentation into
      a separate patch, like was suggested by Christian König.

    - Intel driver dropped the reservation locking fews days ago from
      its BO-release code path, but we need that locking for the imported
      GEMs because in the end that code path unmaps the imported GEM.
      So I added back the locking needed by the imported GEMs, updating
      the "dma-buf attachment locking specification" patch appropriately.

    - Tested Nouveau+Intel dma-buf import/export combo.

    - Tested udmabuf import to i915/Nouveau/AMDGPU.

    - Fixed few places in Etnaviv, Panfrost and Lima drivers that I missed
      to switch to locked dma-buf vmapping in the drm/gem: Take reservation
      lock for vmap/vunmap operations" patch. In a result invalidated the
      Christian's r-b that he gave to v2.

    - Added locked dma-buf vmap/vunmap functions that are needed for fixing
      vmappping of Etnaviv, Panfrost and Lima drivers mentioned above.
      I actually had this change stashed for the drm-shmem shrinker patchset,
      but then realized that it's already needed by the dma-buf patches.
      Also improved my tests to better cover these code paths.

v2: - Changed locking specification to avoid problems with a cross-driver
      ww locking, like was suggested by Christian König. Now the attach/detach
      callbacks are invoked without the held lock and exporter should take the
      lock.

    - Added "locking convention" documentation that explains which dma-buf
      functions and callbacks are locked/unlocked for importers and exporters,
      which was requested by Christian König.

    - Added ack from Tomasz Figa to the V4L patches that he gave to v1.

Dmitry Osipenko (9):
  dma-buf: Add _unlocked postfix to function names
  dma-buf: Add locked variant of dma_buf_vmap/vunmap()
  drm/gem: Take reservation lock for vmap/vunmap operations
  dma-buf: Move dma_buf_vmap/vunmap_unlocked() to dynamic locking
    specification
  dma-buf: Move dma_buf_mmap_unlocked() to dynamic locking specification
