SubjectRe: [PATCH v10 0/3] Secure Memory Allocation Framework
When using dmabuf the devices have to attach themselves on the buffer
before map it
so you can know which devices will use the buffer before allocate it
when the first
dma_buf_map_attachment() is called (defered allocation)
Split dmabuf attach/map_attachment is not really done in drm or v4l2
but patch like this one
are going in this direction:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg104480.html

I agree that device constraint enumeration is still missing, for smaf
I have just to test
by using device dma_coherent_mask field to check if cma allocator can
be used for
allocation. I guess that if you can export more device information to
userland we can
get access to them in kernel too.
