** Description changed: SRU Justification: [Impact] From Nvidia: "We are working on a high performance networking solution with real customers. That solution is being developed using the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS distro release and the distro kernel (lowlatency flavour). This “dma_buf” patchset consists of upstreamed patches that allow buffers to be shared between drivers thus enhancing performance while reducing copying of data. Our team is currently engaged in the development of a high-performance networking solution tailored to meet the demands of real-world customers. This cutting-edge solution is being crafted on the foundation of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, utilizing the distribution's kernel, specifically the lowlatency flavor. At the heart of our innovation lies the transformative "dma_buf" patchset, comprising a series of patches that have been integrated into the upstream kernel in 5.16 and 5.17. These patches introduce a groundbreaking capability: enabling the seamless sharing of buffers among various drivers. This not only bolsters the solution's performance but also minimizes the need for data copying, effectively enhancing efficiency across the board. The new functionality is isolated such that existing user will not execute these new code paths."
