Subject: Re: [virtio-dev] [PATCH] [RFC RESEND] vdec: Add virtio video decode device specification

What exactly is a "secure buffer"?  I guess a gem object where read
access is not allowed, only scanout to display?  Who enforces this?
The hardware?  Or the kernel driver?

It might make sense for virtio-gpu to know that concept, to allow guests
ask for secure buffers.

And of course we'll need some way to pass around identifiers for these
(and maybe other) buffers (from virtio-gpu device via guest drivers to
virtio-vdec device).  virtio-gpu guest driver could generate a uuid for
that, attach it to the dma-buf and also notify the host so qemu can
maintain a uuid -> buffer lookup table.

cheers,
  Gerd
