931954660SGustavo Padovan	  The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via
1031954660SGustavo Padovan	  userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct fence' objects to/from
1131954660SGustavo Padovan	  userspace via Sync File fds for synchronization between drivers via
1231954660SGustavo Padovan	  userspace components. It has been ported from Android.

1431954660SGustavo Padovan	  The first and main user for this is graphics in which a fence is
1531954660SGustavo Padovan	  associated with a buffer. When a job is submitted to the GPU a fence
1631954660SGustavo Padovan	  is attached to the buffer and is transferred via userspace, using Sync
1731954660SGustavo Padovan	  Files fds, to the DRM driver for example. More details at
1831954660SGustavo Padovan	  Documentation/sync_file.txt.
