Name

drm_gem_create_mmap_offset_size — create a fake mmap offset for an object

Synopsis

int drm_gem_create_mmap_offset_size (struct drm_gem_object * obj,
 size_t size);
 

Arguments

obj

obj in question

size

the virtual size

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, in cases where the virtual size differs from the physical size (ie. obj->size). Otherwise just use drm_gem_create_mmap_offset.
