[PATCH v1] Revert "drm/virtio: Allow importing prime buffers when 3D is enabled"

[PATCH v1] Revert "drm/virtio: Allow importing prime buffers when 3D is enabled"

[Dmitry Osipenko]

Guest userspace may import udmabuf to vrend. Vrend doesn't support guest
blobs, and thus, further 3d operations with the imported blob are failing.
Typical scenario of the problem shown with mouse cursor RGBA image imported
into virtio-gpu, which previously was rejected by virtio-gpu driver.
Revert enabling guest blobs importing into vrend to fix the regression.

Oops, right, didn't think the back-compat issues all the way through on 
that one..

Reviewed-by: Val Packett <val@invisiblethingslab.com>


BTW, to clarify wrt the original use case this was intended for— I got 
it all working, but it adds new feature flags:

https://lore.kernel.org/virtio-comment/20260903021442.423274-1-val@invisiblethingslab.com/

So I'll "unlock" this again in new patches but not unconditionally of 
course. Rather, gated on the new F_CREATE_GUEST_HANDLE flag which would 
indicate that the device backend *does* support creating guest blobs 
with host handles (dmabufs).


Thanks,
