+ <para>
+ The dma-buf subsystem provides the framework for sharing buffers
+ for hardware (DMA) access across multiple device drivers and
+ subsystems, and for synchronizing asynchronous hardware access.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This is used, for example, by drm "prime" multi-GPU support, but
+ is of course not limited to GPU use cases.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The three main components of this are: (1) dma-buf, representing
+ a sg_table and exposed to userspace as a file descriptor to allow
+ passing between devices, (2) fence, which provides a mechanism
+ to signal when one device as finished access, and (3) reservation,
+ which manages the shared or exclusive fence(s) associated with
+ the buffer.
