DRM_GEM_CREATE_MMAP_(9) DRM Core DRM_GEM_CREATE_MMAP_(9)

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.
