DRM identifies the GEM object to be mapped by a fake offset passed
through the mmap offset argument. Prior to being mapped, a GEM object
must thus be associated with a fake offset. To do so, drivers must call
- <function>drm_gem_create_mmap_offset</function> on the object. The
- function allocates a fake offset range from a pool and stores the
- offset divided by PAGE_SIZE in
- <literal>obj->map_list.hash.key</literal>. Care must be taken not to
- call <function>drm_gem_create_mmap_offset</function> if a fake offset
- has already been allocated for the object. This can be tested by
- <literal>obj->map_list.map</literal> being non-NULL.
+ <function>drm_gem_create_mmap_offset</function> on the object.
</para>
<para>
Once allocated, the fake offset value
- (<literal>obj->map_list.hash.key << PAGE_SHIFT</literal>)
must be passed to the application in a driver-specific way and can then
be used as the mmap offset argument.
