Subject: [RFC PATCHv2 00/21] Ion clean in preparation for moving out of staging


Hi,

This is v2 of the series to do some serious Ion clean up in preparation for
moving out of staging. I got good feedback last time so this series mostly
attempts to address that feedback and do more still more cleanup. Highlights:

- All calls to DMA APIs should now be with a real actual proper device
  structure
- Patch to stop setting sg_dma_address manually now included
- Fix for a bug in the query interface
- Removal of custom ioctl interface
- Removal of import interface
- Removal of any notion of using Ion as an in kernel interface.
- Cleanup of ABI so compat interface is no longer needed
- Deletion of a bit more platform code
- Combined heap enumeration and heap registration code up so there are fewer
  layers of abstraction
- Some general cleanup and header reduction.
- Removal of both the ion_client and ion_handle structures since these mostly
  become redundant. As a result, Ion only returns a dma_buf fd. The overall
  result is that the only Ion interfaces are the query ioctl and the alloc
  ioctl.

The following are still TODOs/open problems:
- Sumit's comments about the CMA naming.
- Bindings/platform for chunk and carveout heap
- There was some discussion about making the sg_table duplication generic. I
  got bogged down in handling some of the edge cases for generic handling
  so I put this aside. Making it generic is still something that should happen.
- More fine-grained support for restricting heap access. There are good
  arguments to be made for having a way for having good integration with
  selinux and other policy mechanisms.
- While not on the original list, there is still no good good test standalone
  test framework. I noticed that the existing ion_test was fairly generic so I
  proposed moving it to dma_buf. Daniel Vetter suggested just using the VGEM
  module instead. Ideally, the tests can live as part of some other existing
  test set (drm tests maybe?)

Feedback appreciated as always.

Thanks,
Laura
