Test struct drm_gem_object.import_attach to detect imported objects

I don't think that this is a good idea.

The DMA-buf is separately reference counted through the import attachment.
I understand that it's not ideal, but testing for import_attach to be set is 
what we currently do throughout drivers. Putting this behind an interface is 
already a step forward.

Happens for calls to drm_mode_destroy_dumb_ioctl() that eventually
clear the dma_buf field in drm_gem_object_exported_dma_buf_free().
That is for exported DMA-buf and should *NEVER* be used for imported ones.
Did you look at the discussion at the Closes tag? Where else could dma-buf be 
cleared?
Yeah, I've seen that. The solution is just completely wrong.

See for the export case obj->dma_buf points to the exported DMA-buf and causes 
a circle dependency when not set to NULL when the last handle is released.

But for the import case obj->dma_buf is actually not that relevant. Instead 
obj->import_attach->dma_buf should be used.
So if I understand correctly, the tests in that helper should be done by looking 
at import_attach->dma_buf.
At least in theory yes. IIRC we also set obj->dma_buf to the same value as 
import_attach->dma_buf for convenient so that code doesn't need to check both.

But it can be that obj->dma_buf is already NULL while the import attachment is still 
in the process of being cleaned up. So there are a couple of cases where we have to look 
at obj->import_attach->dma_buf.

Ok, that should also solve the problem for now. The point here is to limit exposure of import_attach.


The long-term goal is to make import_attach optional because its setup requires 
a DMA-capable device.
HUI WHAT?

Dmitry and I put quite some effort into being able to create an import_attach 
without the requirement to have a DMA-capable device.

The last puzzle piece of that landed a month ago in the form of this patch here:

     dma-buf: drop caching of sg_tables
    That was purely for the transition from static to dynamic dma-buf
     handling and can be removed again now.

When you don't create an import attachment the exporter wouldn't know that his 
buffer is actually used which is usually a quite bad idea.

This is for devices who only want to do a vmap of the buffer, isn't it?

Yeah, the vmap needs the sgtable, which needs import_attach IIRC. Somewhere in there a DMA device is required. But it's not of high priority as we have workarounds.
