Not trying to avoid, just trying to look into this separately as the need to take ABI also in account which includes current device nodes and the uapi header which is present in uapi/misc/fastrpc.h whereas I see all accel driver uapi headers are part of uapi/drm/. Will be taking inputs from fastrpc maintainers also. >> I'll write more meaningful Kconfig entry in next spin. >>

As I wrote earlier, that depends on the accel/ maintainers decision, whether it's acceptable to have non-DRM_ACCEL code underneath. But at least I'd try doing that on the grounds of keeping the code at the proper place in the drivers/ tree, raising awareness of the FastRPC, etc. For example current fastrpc driver bypasses dri-devel reviews, while if I remember correctly, at some point it was suggested that all dma-buf-handling drivers should also notify the dri-devel ML. Also having the driver under drivers/accels makes it possible and logical to implement DRM_ACCEL uAPI at some point. In the ideal world we should be able to declare existing FastRPC uAPI as legacy / deprecated / backwards compatibility only and migrate to the recommended uAPI approach, which is DRM_ACCEL.

Its my understanding that accelerator drivers are able to reside in misc as long as there is no use of dma-buf. Use of dma-buf means they need to be in drm/accel. There is precedent for moving a driver from misc to accel (HabanaLabs). Right now, I'm not aware that fastRPC meets the requirements for drm/accel. There is an open source userspace driver, but I'm not aware of an open source compiler. From what I know of the architecture, it should be possible to utilize upstream LLVM to produce one. -Jeff

Yeah so fastrpc is one of the reasons why I've added a dma_buf regex match to MAINTAINERS, and given this move has shown up here on dri-devel that seems to work. But also, it slipped through, can't break uapi, so I just pretend it's not really there :-) That aside, going forward it might make sense to look into drivers/accel, and also going forward new dma_buf uapi will be reviewed to fairly stringent standards. We're not going to impose the dri-devel userspace rules on everyone, each subsystem tends to know what's best in their ecosystem. But if something just ends up in misc so it can avoid the drm or accel rules (and I think media is also pretty much on the same page nowadays), then expect some serious heat ... Cheers, Sima

After discussing this on #dri-devel, I'm going to retract my suggestion of moving the driver to drivers/accel/, unless there is an actual interest in moving to drm_accel.h style of uAPI. It should still be noted that there is a strong recommendation to start from scratch and to use DRM / accel uAPI, either using the existing driver for the legacy platforms or dropping it completely. When the fastrpc driver was started by Qualcomm engineers, there was no standard method of implementing the accel drivers. Since 1st of November 2022 we have drm_accel.h.

If the agreement is that dma-buf-handling drivers must get reviews from dri-devel, then let's document that in MAINTAINERS and agree with the maintainer.

Move fastrpc.c from misc/ to misc/fastrpc/. New C files are planned to be added for PD notifications and other missing features. Adding and maintaining new files from within fastrpc directory would be easy.
