The EXT_external_objects extension is a bit awkward as it doesn't pass
explicit modifiers, leaving the importer to guess with incomplete
information. In the case of vk (turnip) exporting and gl (freedreno)
importing, the "OPTIMAL_TILING_EXT" layout depends on VkImageCreateInfo
flags (among other things), which the importer does not know. Which
unfortunately leaves us with the need for a metadata back-channel.
The contents of the metadata are defined by userspace. The
EXT_external_objects extension is only required to work between
compatible versions of gl and vk drivers, as defined by device and
driver UUIDs.
v2: add missing metadata kfree
v3: Rework to move copy_from/to_user out from under gem obj lock
to avoid angering lockdep about deadlocks against fs-reclaim

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
