drm_gem_is_prime_exported_dma_buf() checks the dma_buf->ops against
drm_gem_prime_dmabuf_ops, which makes it impossible to use if the
driver implements custom dma_buf_ops. Instead of duplicating a bunch
of helpers to work around it, let's provide a way for drivers to
expose their custom dma_buf_ops so the core prime helpers can rely on
that instead of hardcoding &drm_gem_prime_dmabuf_ops.

This can't go in as-is. I've spent an awful amount of patches on removing buffer callbacks from struct drm_driver. Let's please not go back to that.


v5:
- New patch

v6:
- Pass custom dma_buf_ops directly instead of through a getter

Rather provide a new function drm_gem_prime_export_with_ops() that takes an additional dma_ops instance. The current drm_gem_prime_export() would call it with &drm_gem_prime_dmabuf_ops.

If this really does not work, you could add a pointer to dma_buf_ops to drm_gem_object_funcs and fetch that from drm_gem_prime_export(). We already vm_ops there.

Other drivers, such as amdgpu, would also benefit from such a change

On a second thought, we probably cannot be sure that dma_buf->priv really is a GEM object until we tested the ops field. :/  IIRC that's why the ops test goes first and the test for obj->dev goes second. So neither solution works.

This is a bit more complicated and the test has been a pain point before. For this case, I think we should add a GEM callback for this

struct drm_gem_object_funcs {
    bool (*exported_by)(struct drm_gem_object *obj, struct drm_device *dev)
}

next to the existing export callback.

And drm_gem_is_prime_exported_dma_buf would then do

{
    if (obj->funcs->exported_by)
       return obj->funcs-<exported_by(obj, dev)

   return /* what we currently test */
}

IIRC amdgpu would again benefit from this.

These changes will isolate dma_buf handling near GEM code, keep drm_driver clean, and even allow for a driver to have different implementations of dma_buf_ops.

Best regards
Thomas
