Yes this is a bit a big patch, but since it's essentially a complete
rewrite of all the prime docs I didn't see how to better split it up.

Changes:
- Consistently point to drm_gem_object_funcs as the preferred hooks,
  where applicable.

- Reorder all the functions in drm_prime.[hc] into three groups: core,
  export helpers, import helpers.

- Document all the hooks in &drm_driver that lacked kerneldoc.

- Completely new overview section, which now also includes the cleaned
  up lifetime/reference counting subchapter. I also mentioned the weak
  references in there due to the lookup caches.

- Completely rewritten helper intro section, highlight the
  import/export related functionality.

- Polish for all the functions and more cross references.

I also sprinkled a bunch of todos all over.

Most important: 0 code changes in here. The cleanup motivated by
reading and improving all this will follow later on.

v2: Actually update the prime helper docs. Plus add a few FIXMEs that
I won't address right away in subsequent cleanup patches.

Hi Daniel

Better and more consistent docs - good!

For a newbie like me the above does not really help to understand what
PRIME is.
Yes, it is file descriptors used to share buffer objects across
processes.
But the text say "also used ..", so the main usage of PRIME is something
else.

But as said, newbie so it may be fine for most readers.

Here maybe add a description of the return result.
If I read the code correct:
Returns 0 on success or negative error code on failure.

Could we here document what function we provide as the default
&drm_gem_object_funcs.free hook, which do the drm_prime_gem_destroy()
call.
I read the above that drivers have to provide their own implementation
of a .free hook, and I do not think this is right.

It is confusing why the above comment refer to another callback.
Is this the right wording?

Do gem_free_object() warrant a similar comment?

Nit: In some places we do:

other:
	int (foo)(int bar);

No preference here, but it hurts my OCD a little that it is
inconsistent.

No, what's mean here is that prime file descriptors are used like gem
global names, for buffer sharing. That's what the "also" means here.
There's no other use for prime fd than sharing buffers.

Not really clear why this is unclear ...

There's no default implementation of the free hook at all, so not sure
what you mean. You do kinda have to provide a free hook, otherwise your
driver will leak badly.

I'm confused ... @gem_free_object is exactly the callback I want to refer
to. Because that one _is_ encumbered with the legacy struct_mutex locking
scheme. Unlike the .free callback, or the gem_free_object_unlocked
callback.

Hm we're not super consistent with these deprecation notices even in

Re-reading it, things makes a bit more sense to me now.
When I wrote my comment I somehow read it:
"PRIME file descriptors are also used to share ..."
(Notice that I missed the first part).

I had expected there was a default implementation.
As there is no such thing my comment it irrelevant.

I see now, OK.

Thanks for the clarifications.

Resuffle is ok. Currently the commit summary says "comments" and we have
851 +/- for a ~960 loc file - not the example we want to set for others.

Can we get this into more managable hunks?

 buffers are dma-buf based file descriptors.
 
-Overview and Driver Interface
------------------------------
+Overview and Lifetime Rules
+---------------------------
 
-Similar to GEM global names, PRIME file descriptors are also used to
-share buffer objects across processes. They offer additional security:
-as file descriptors must be explicitly sent over UNIX domain sockets to
-be shared between applications, they can't be guessed like the globally
-unique GEM names.
-
-Drivers that support the PRIME API must set the DRIVER_PRIME bit in the
-struct :c:type:`struct drm_driver <drm_driver>`
-driver_features field, and implement the prime_handle_to_fd and
-prime_fd_to_handle operations.
-
-int (\*prime_handle_to_fd)(struct drm_device \*dev, struct drm_file
-\*file_priv, uint32_t handle, uint32_t flags, int \*prime_fd); int
-(\*prime_fd_to_handle)(struct drm_device \*dev, struct drm_file
-\*file_priv, int prime_fd, uint32_t \*handle); Those two operations
-convert a handle to a PRIME file descriptor and vice versa. Drivers must
-use the kernel dma-buf buffer sharing framework to manage the PRIME file
-descriptors. Similar to the mode setting API PRIME is agnostic to the
-underlying buffer object manager, as long as handles are 32bit unsigned
-integers.
-
-While non-GEM drivers must implement the operations themselves, GEM
-drivers must use the :c:func:`drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd()` and
-:c:func:`drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle()` helper functions. Those
-helpers rely on the driver gem_prime_export and gem_prime_import
-operations to create a dma-buf instance from a GEM object (dma-buf
-exporter role) and to create a GEM object from a dma-buf instance
-(dma-buf importer role).
-
-struct dma_buf \* (\*gem_prime_export)(struct drm_device \*dev,
-struct drm_gem_object \*obj, int flags); struct drm_gem_object \*
-(\*gem_prime_import)(struct drm_device \*dev, struct dma_buf

- * userspace has closed both handles to the imported GEM object (through the
- * FD_TO_HANDLE IOCTL) and closed the file descriptor of the exported
- * (through the HANDLE_TO_FD IOCTL) dma_buf, and all kernel-internal references
- * are also gone, then the dma_buf gets destroyed.  This can also happen as a
- * part of the clean up procedure in the drm_release() function if userspace
- * fails to properly clean up.  Note that both the kernel and userspace (by
- * keeeping the PRIME file descriptors open) can hold references onto a
- * &dma_buf.
- *
- * Thus the chain of references always flows in one direction
- * (avoiding loops): importing_gem -> dmabuf -> exporting_gem
- *
- * Self-importing: if userspace is using PRIME as a replacement for flink
- * then it will get a fd->handle request for a GEM object that it created.
- * Drivers should detect this situation and return back the gem object
- * from the dma-buf private.  Prime will do this automatically for drivers that
- * use the drm_gem_prime_{import,export} helpers.
- *
- * GEM struct &dma_buf_ops symbols are now exported. They can be resued by
- * drivers which implement GEM interface.
+/**
+ * DOC: overview and lifetime rules
+ *
+ * Similar to GEM global names, PRIME file descriptors are also used to share
+ * buffer objects across processes. They offer additional security: as file
+ * descriptors must be explicitly sent over UNIX domain sockets to be shared
+ * between applications, they can't be guessed like the globally unique GEM
+ * names.
+ *
+ * Drivers that support the PRIME API must set the DRIVER_PRIME bit in the
+ * &drm_driver.driver_features field, and implement the
+ * &drm_driver.prime_handle_to_fd and &drm_driver.prime_fd_to_handle operations.
+ * GEM based drivers must use drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd() an
+ * drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle() to implement these. For GEM based drivers the
+ * actual driver interfaces is provided through the &drm_gem_object_funcs.export
+ * and &drm_driver.gem_prime_import hooks.
+ *
+ * &dma_buf_ops implementations for GEM drivers are all individually exported
+ * for drivers which need to overwrite or reimplement some of them.
+ *
+ * Reference Counting for GEM Drivers
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * On the export the &dma_buf holds a reference to the exported buffer object,
+ * usually a &drm_gem_object. It takes this reference in the PRIME_HANDLE_TO_FD
+ * IOCTL, when it first calls &drm_gem_object_funcs.export
+ * and stores the exporting GEM object in the &dma_buf.priv field. This
+ * reference needs to be released when the final reference to the &dma_buf
+ * itself is dropped and its &dma_buf_ops.release function is called.  For
+ * GEM-based drivers, the &dma_buf should be exported using
+ * drm_gem_dmabuf_export() and then released by drm_gem_dmabuf_release().
+ *
+ * Thus the chain of references always flows in one direction, avoiding loops:
+ * importing GEM object -> dma-buf -> exported GEM bo. A further complication
+ * are the lookup caches for import and export. These are required to guarantee
+ * that any given object will always have only one uniqe userspace handle. This
+ * is required to allow userspace to detect duplicated imports, since some GEM
+ * drivers do fail command submissions if a given buffer object is listed more
+ * than once. These import and export caches in &drm_prime_file_private only
+ * retain a weak reference, which is cleaned up when the corresponding object is
+ * released.
+ *
+ * Self-importing: If userspace is using PRIME as a replacement for flink then
+ * it will get a fd->handle request for a GEM object that it created.  Drivers
+ * should detect this situation and return back the underlying object from the
+ * dma-buf private. For GEM based drivers this is handled in
+ * drm_gem_prime_import() already.
