| The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via | |
| userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct 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. | |
