That preprocessor define worked but I'm still confused about this
DRM_FILE_PAGE_OFFSET thing. Check out drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c
right above drm_gem_init.

/*
* We make up offsets for buffer objects so we can recognize them at
* mmap time.
*/

/* pgoff in mmap is an unsigned long, so we need to make sure that
* the faked up offset will fit
*/

#if BITS_PER_LONG == 64
#define DRM_FILE_PAGE_OFFSET_START ((0xFFFFFFFFUL >> PAGE_SHIFT) + 1)
#define DRM_FILE_PAGE_OFFSET_SIZE ((0xFFFFFFFFUL >> PAGE_SHIFT) * 16)
#else
#define DRM_FILE_PAGE_OFFSET_START ((0xFFFFFFFUL >> PAGE_SHIFT) + 1)
#define DRM_FILE_PAGE_OFFSET_SIZE ((0xFFFFFFFUL >> PAGE_SHIFT) * 16)
#endif

Why is having a 64-bit file offsets critical, causing -EINVAL on mmap?
What problems might be associated with using (0x10000000UL >>
PAGE_SHIFT) ?
