Open/Close, File Operations and IOCTLs
======================================
-Open and Close
---------------
-
-Open and close handlers. None of those methods are mandatory::
-
- int (*firstopen) (struct drm_device *);
- void (*lastclose) (struct drm_device *);
- int (*open) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
- void (*preclose) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
- void (*postclose) (struct drm_device *, struct drm_file *);
-
-The firstopen method is called by the DRM core for legacy UMS (User Mode
-Setting) drivers only when an application opens a device that has no
-other opened file handle. UMS drivers can implement it to acquire device
-resources. KMS drivers can't use the method and must acquire resources
-in the load method instead.
-
-Similarly the lastclose method is called when the last application
-holding a file handle opened on the device closes it, for both UMS and
-KMS drivers. Additionally, the method is also called at module unload
-time or, for hot-pluggable devices, when the device is unplugged. The
-firstopen and lastclose calls can thus be unbalanced.
-
-The open method is called every time the device is opened by an
-application. Drivers can allocate per-file private data in this method
-and store them in the struct :c:type:`struct drm_file
-<drm_file>` driver_priv field. Note that the open method is
-called before firstopen.
-
-The close operation is split into preclose and postclose methods.
-Drivers must stop and cleanup all per-file operations in the preclose
-method. For instance pending vertical blanking and page flip events must
-be cancelled. No per-file operation is allowed on the file handle after
-returning from the preclose method.
-
-Finally the postclose method is called as the last step of the close
-operation, right before calling the lastclose method if no other open
-file handle exists for the device. Drivers that have allocated per-file
-private data in the open method should free it here.
-
-The lastclose method should restore CRTC and plane properties to default
-value, so that a subsequent open of the device will not inherit state
-from the previous user. It can also be used to execute delayed power
-switching state changes, e.g. in conjunction with the :ref:`vga_switcheroo`
-infrastructure. Beyond that KMS drivers should not do any
-further cleanup. Only legacy UMS drivers might need to clean up device
-state so that the vga console or an independent fbdev driver could take
-over.

*
* Drivers must define the file operations structure that forms the DRM
* userspace API entry point, even though most of those operations are
- * implemented in the DRM core. The mandatory functions are drm_open(),
+ * implemented in the DRM core. The resulting &struct file_operations must be
+ * stored in the &drm_driver.fops field. The mandatory functions are drm_open(),
* drm_read(), drm_ioctl() and drm_compat_ioctl() if CONFIG_COMPAT is enabled
- * (note that drm_compat_ioctl will be NULL if CONFIG_COMPAT=n). Drivers which
- * implement private ioctls that require 32/64 bit compatibility support must
- * provide their own .compat_ioctl() handler that processes private ioctls and
- * calls drm_compat_ioctl() for core ioctls.
+ * Note that drm_compat_ioctl will be NULL if CONFIG_COMPAT=n, so there's no
+ * need to sprinkle #ifdef into the code. Drivers which implement private ioctls
+ * that require 32/64 bit compatibility support must provide their own
+ * &file_operations.compat_ioctl handler that processes private ioctls and calls
+ * drm_compat_ioctl() for core ioctls.
*
* In addition drm_read() and drm_poll() provide support for DRM events. DRM
* events are a generic and extensible means to send asynchronous events to
* page flip completions by the KMS API. But drivers can also use it for their
* own needs, e.g. to signal completion of rendering.
*
+ * For the driver-side event interface see drm_event_reserve_init() and
+ * drm_send_event() as the main starting points.
+ *
* The memory mapping implementation will vary depending on how the driver
* manages memory. Legacy drivers will use the deprecated drm_legacy_mmap()
* function, modern drivers should use one of the provided memory-manager
- * specific implementations. For GEM-based drivers this is drm_gem_mmap().
+ * specific implementations. For GEM-based drivers this is drm_gem_mmap(), and
+ * for drivers which use the CMA GEM helpers it's drm_gem_cma_mmap().
*
* No other file operations are supported by the DRM userspace API. Overall the
* following is an example #file_operations structure::
* .llseek = no_llseek,
* .mmap = drm_gem_mmap,
* };
+ *
+ * FIXME: We should have a macro for this (and the CMA version) so that drivers
+ * don't have to repeat it all the time.
