The accelerator devices are exposed to user-space using a dedicated major. In addition, they are represented in /dev with new, dedicated device char names: /dev/accel/accel*. This is done to make sure any user-space software that tries to open a graphic card won't open the accelerator device by mistake. The above implies that the minor numbering should be separated from the rest of the DRM devices. However, to avoid code duplication, we want the drm_minor structure to be able to represent the accelerator device. To achieve this, we add a new drm_minor* to drm_device that represents the accelerator device. This pointer is initialized for drivers that declare they handle compute accelerator, using a new driver feature flag called DRIVER_COMPUTE_ACCEL. It is important to note that this driver feature is mutually exclusive with DRIVER_RENDER. Devices that want to expose both graphics and compute device char files should be handled by two drivers that are connected using the auxiliary bus framework. In addition, we define a different IDR to handle the accelerators minors. This is done to make the minor's index be identical to the device index in /dev/. Any access to the IDR is done solely by functions in accel_drv.c, as the IDR is define as static. The DRM core functions call those functions in case they detect the minor's type is DRM_MINOR_ACCEL. We define a separate accel_open function (from drm_open) that the accel drivers should set as their open callback function. Both these functions eventually call the same drm_open_helper(), which had to be changed to be non-static so it can be called from accel_drv.c. accel_open() only partially duplicates drm_open as I removed some code from it that handles legacy devices. To help new drivers, I defined DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS macro to easily set the required function operations pointers structure.

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.
