#1348439 — [PATCH v6 6/6] staging/android: add flags member to sync ioctl structs

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

Play safe and add flags member to all structs. So we don't need to
break API or create new IOCTL in the future if new features that requires
flags arises.

v2: check if flags are valid (zero, in this case)

v3: return -EINVAL if flags are not zero'ed

v4: add padding for 64-bit alignment

Why are these vX things here in the changelog?

And you just broke all existing userspace users of this code, why are
you allowed to do that?

There are few people who does this in drm, so I just followed that.

Because we've discussed this extensively in the last versions of this
patches. Most of the people from CC agreed with it.

We are cleaning up the Android sync and coming up with a better ABI for
it before we de-stage it. Android people agreed with this and we will
patch it.

Anyway, I've sent v7 without the vX things in the changelog.

There are not really any users of this on an upstream kernel yet, so
it makes sense to fix the ABI to something we can live with now,
before that changes.  If we are stuck not breaking ABI with android
stuff pulled into staging as we destage it, then maybe we should be a
*lot* slower at pulling android stuff into staging.  (Ie. if that is
the case, please kick it all out now and we'll re-add things
properly.)

That all said, I suppose one sensible concession to practicality would
be to burn the old ioctl numbers and pick new ioctl numbers.  At least
this way if someone did manage to take an old android userspace (with
it's various dependencies on other non-upstream SoC specific platform
drivers, etc) and run it on upstream kernel, at least things would
fail in an obvious way.  I could live with this as the
mode-of-operations for fixing up and destaging staging/android stuff.

Because this is drm and we're special ;-)

We could do fence2.h if you absolutely insist and just forget about the
current one, but that seemed silly. Like Gustavo said, everyone who
actually cares about this stuff is perfectly fine with this. And there's
not a single user of this in upstream anyway, so the only trees we could
break are vendor trees with massive amounts of additional stuff.

Is that reasonable ok for you, or do you insist we do a fences2.h without
going through staging ? ;-)

Thanks, Daniel

Ok, if everyone is ok with this api changing, and will not get mad if it
breaks things, I'm all for fixing this up.

I just want all of your signed-off-by lines on the series please.
Please respond to the v7 of this series and I'll be glad to queue them
up.

thanks,

Hi Greg,

Allow me to chip in as well.

In all honesty, isn't 'fluid ABI' one of the reasons behind staging ?
That is how it was used by a few drivers in the past, at least. If the
rules have changed and/or Android is special in that regard, we ought
to make it perfectly clear so that people are aware from day 1.

That aside, Android developers were clear that only internal,
downstream components are using this code and they are OK with
breaking the ABI [1]. Gustavo is in the process of rewriting their
tests for upstream inclusion and he'll also update the Android side of
things [2].

With those in mind, I think everything should be safe here. If you
prefer to avoid the ABI break, which approach are you keen on -
reassign new ioctl numbers (Rob suggestion) or use new header fence2.h
(Daniel).

Thank you
Emil

#1348441 — [PATCH v6 2/6] staging/android: rename SYNC_IOC_FENCE_INFO

From: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk>

We don't use the 'fence' name to refer to sync_file anymore. So rename it
to SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO.
