Subject: [PATCH v6 5/9] vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 22:41:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911214200.33793-6-matt@ozlabs.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911214200.33793-1-matt@ozlabs.org>

This helper, vfio_pci_core_mmap_prep_dmabuf(), creates a single-range
DMABUF for the purpose of mapping a PCI BAR.  This is used in a future
commit by VFIO's ordinary mmap() path.

This function transfers ownership of the VFIO device fd to the
DMABUF, which fput()s when it's released.

Refactor the existing vfio_pci_core_feature_dma_buf() to split out
export code common to the two paths, VFIO_DEVICE_FEATURE_DMA_BUF and
this new VFIO_BAR mmap().

By exchanging the VMA file, we lose the original device path in
/proc/<pid>/maps, lsof, etc.  Generate a debug-oriented synthetic
'filename' for BAR mappings based on the cdev, plus BDF, plus resource
index.  (This does not apply to explicitly-exported DMABUFs which are
named by DMA_BUF_SET_NAME.)
