[PATCH] drm: gem: add an option for supporting the dma-coherent hardware.

From: Sui Jingfeng
Date: Wed Jun 07 2023 - 01:31:05 EST


The single map_noncoherent member of struct drm_gem_dma_object may not
sufficient for describing the backing memory of the GEM buffer object.

Especially on dma-coherent systems, the backing memory is both cached
coherent for multi-core CPUs and dma-coherent for peripheral device.
Say architectures like X86-64, LoongArch64, Loongson Mips64, etc.

Whether a peripheral device is dma-coherent or not can be
implementation-dependent. The single map_noncoherent option is not enough
to reflect real hardware anymore. For example, the Loongson LS3A4000 CPU
and LS2K2000/LS2K1000 SoC, peripheral device of such hardware platform
allways snoop CPU's cache. Doing the allocation with dma_alloc_coherent
function is preferred. The return buffer is cached, it should not using
the default write-combine mapping. While with the current implement, there
no way to tell the drm core to reflect this.

This patch adds cached and coherent members to struct drm_gem_dma_object.
which allow driver implements to inform the core. Introducing new mappings
while keeping the original default behavior unchanged.
