From 504245a5ab6b6e1bfe0280baa4885c551e082099 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stone Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2023 16:47:29 +0100 Subject: doc: uapi: Add document describing dma-buf semantics Since there's a lot of confusion around this, document both the rules and the best practices around negotiating, allocating, importing, and using buffers when crossing context/process/device/subsystem boundaries. This ties up all of dma-buf, formats and modifiers, and their usage.
