To manage coherency, DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC must be used to bracket + * any CPU access to give the kernel the chance to shuffle memory around if + * needed. + * + * Prior to accessing the map, the client must call DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC + * with DMA_BUF_SYNC_START and the appropriate read/write flags. Once the + * access is complete, the client should call DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC with + * DMA_BUF_SYNC_END and the same read/write flags. + * + * The synchronization provided via DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC only provides cache + * coherency. It does not prevent other processes or devices from + * accessing the memory at the same time. If synchronization with a GPU or + * other device driver is required, it is the client's responsibility to + * wait for buffer to be ready for reading or writing before calling this + * ioctl with DMA_BUF_SYNC_START. Likewise, the client must ensure that + * follow-up work is not submitted to GPU or other device driver until + * after this ioctl has been called with DMA_BUF_SYNC_END? + * + * If the driver or API with which the client is interacting uses implicit + * synchronization, waiting for prior work to complete can be done via + * poll() on the DMA buffer file descriptor.
