The reason behind that patch is associated with videobuf2 subsystem (or more genrally with v4l2 framework) and user created dma buffers (udmabuf). In some circumstances when dealing with V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF buffers videobuf2 subsystem wants to use dma_buf_vmap() method on the attached dma buffer. As udmabuf does not have .vmap operation implemented, such dma_buf_vmap() natually fails. videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __vb2_queue_alloc: allocated 3 buffers, 1 plane(s) each videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __prepare_dmabuf: buffer for plane 0 changed videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __prepare_dmabuf: failed to map dmabuf for plane 0 videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __buf_prepare: buffer preparation failed: -14 The patch itself seems to be strighforward. It adds implementation of .vmap method to 'struct dma_buf_ops udmabuf_ops'. .vmap method itself uses vm_map_ram() to map pages linearly into the kernel virtual address space (only if such mapping hasn't been created yet).
