Subject: [PATCH v6 3/9] dma-buf: Export dma_buf_set_name()
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 22:41:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911214200.33793-4-matt@ozlabs.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911214200.33793-1-matt@ozlabs.org>
dma_buf_set_name() originally took a __user string to duplicate for
the buffer name. Make this function a generic set-name helper, taking
a kernel-allocated string.
Wrap this by a new dma_buf_set_name_user() to support the existing
ioctl path for a user-provided string.
