Name

drm_gem_create_mmap_offset — create a fake mmap offset for an object

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.
