Yes, I removed one patch from the RFC series to reduce the Cc list while
I wasn't sure if the proposal would be considered at all.

The full series in my local tree added it to the implementation of
DRM_IOCTL_PRIME_FD_TO_HANDLE:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_prime.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_prime.c
index f924b8b4ab6b..f32e12445570 100644

+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_prime.c

dma_buf_attachment *attach,
 		return sgt;

 	ret = dma_map_sgtable(attach->dev, sgt, dir,
-			      DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC);
+			      DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC | DMA_ATTR_MAY_SLEEP);
 	if (ret) {
 		sg_free_table(sgt);
 		kfree(sgt);

I also noticed a similar place in udmabuf, but since I don't have a use
case ATM, I haven't added the flag there (yet).
