---help---
The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via
userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct dma_fence' objects to/from
userspace via Sync File fds for synchronization between drivers via
userspace components. It has been ported from Android.
The first and main user for this is graphics in which a fence is
associated with a buffer. When a job is submitted to the GPU a fence
is attached to the buffer and is transferred via userspace, using Sync
Files fds, to the DRM driver for example. More details at
Documentation/sync_file.txt.

---help---
A sync object driver that uses a 32bit counter to coordinate
synchronization. Useful when there is no hardware primitive backing
the synchronization.
WARNING: improper use of this can result in deadlocking kernel
drivers from userspace. Intended for test and debug only.

help
A driver to let userspace turn memfd regions into dma-bufs.
Qemu can use this to create host dmabufs for guest framebuffers.
