We use it at Analog Devices to share buffers between the IIO subsystem and the USB stack, which makes it possible to stream data samples between a host computer and high-speed transceivers as fast as possible, in a zero-copy fashion. This will be used by Libiio: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio/pull/928/commits/dd348137ce371532fd952a2b249cfd96afaef7d1 The code that uses these IOCTLs is not yet merged to the "master" branch, but will be as soon as this patchset is accepted. Cheers, -Paul
