---help---
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.
