[PATCH] drm/virtio: Add USE_INTERNAL blob flag

From: Rob Clark
Date: Fri Feb 18 2022 - 10:57:10 EST


From: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

With native userspace drivers in guest, a lot of GEM objects need to be
neither shared nor mappable. And in fact making everything mappable
and/or sharable results in unreasonably high fd usage in host VMM.

This is for a thing I'm working on, a new virtgpu context type that
allows for running native userspace driver in the guest, with a
thin shim in the host VMM. In this case, the guest has a lot of
GEM buffer objects which need to be neither shared nor mappable.

Alternative idea is to just drop the restriction that blob_flags
be non-zero. I'm ok with either approach.
