Hello everyone, The patcheset adds support for DMABUF [1] importing to vmalloc allocator in videobuf2 stack. This is an incremental patch to 'Integration of videobuf2 with dmabuf' patchset [2]. This patch makes use of vmap extension for dmabuf proposed by Dave Airlie [3]. The vmap was preferred over the kmap extension. The reason is that VIVI driver requires the memory to be mapped into a contiguous block of virtual memory accessible by kernel. The workaround could be mapping all pages into kernel memory but the dmabuf-kmap interface does guarantee that consecutive pages are mapped into consecutive addresses.
