Subject: [RFC v2 PATCH 04/10] vfio/pci: Add a helper to create a DMABUF for a BAR-map VMA
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 11:46:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312184613.3710705-5-mattev@meta.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312184613.3710705-1-mattev@meta.com>
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().
