- Remove ION_IOC_SYNC: Flushing for devices should be purely a kernel internal
|
- Add dt-bindings for remaining heaps (chunk and carveout heaps). This would
|
||||||
interface on top of dma-buf. flush_for_device needs to be added to dma-buf
|
involve putting appropriate bindings in a memory node for Ion to find.
|
||||||
first.
|
- Split /dev/ion up into multiple nodes (e.g. /dev/ion/heap0)
|
||||||
- Remove ION_IOC_CUSTOM: Atm used for cache flushing for cpu access in some
|
- Better test framework (integration with VGEM was suggested)
|
||||||
vendor trees. Should be replaced with an ioctl on the dma-buf to expose the
|
|
||||||
begin/end_cpu_access hooks to userspace.
|
|
||||||
- Clarify the tricks ion plays with explicitly managing coherency behind the
|
|
||||||
dma api's back (this is absolutely needed for high-perf gpu drivers): Add an
|
|
||||||
explicit coherency management mode to flush_for_device to be used by drivers
|
|
||||||
which want to manage caches themselves and which indicates whether cpu caches
|
|
||||||
need flushing.
|
|
||||||
- With those removed there's probably no use for ION_IOC_IMPORT anymore either
|
|
||||||
since ion would just be the central allocator for shared buffers.
|
|
||||||
- Add dt-binding to expose cma regions as ion heaps, with the rule that any
|
|
||||||
such cma regions must already be used by some device for dma. I.e. ion only
|
|
||||||
exposes existing cma regions and doesn't reserve unecessarily memory when
|
|
||||||
booting a system which doesn't use ion.
