SYNOPSIS

int drm_gem_create_mmap_offset(struct drm_gem_object * obj);

ARGUMENTS

obj

obj in question

DESCRIPTION

GEM memory mapping works by handing back to userspace a fake mmap offset it can use in a subsequent mmap(2) call. The DRM core code then looks up the object based on the offset and sets up the various memory mapping structures.

This routine allocates and attaches a fake offset for obj.

Drivers can call drm_gem_free_mmap_offset before freeing obj to release the fake offset again.
