That doesn't work in all cases, unfortunately. If you're doing secure video playback, the firmware is typically in charge of the frame decryption/decoding, and you'd get dma-buf back that aren't accessible by the CPU (or at least, not at the execution level Linux runs with). So nobody can map that buffer, and the firmware driver is the one who knows that this buffer cannot be accessed by anyone. Putting this on the userspace to know would be pretty weird, and wouldn't solve the case where the kernel would try to map it. Maxime
