[RFC 4/6] dma-buf: Add DMA-BUF exporter op to charge a DMA-BUF to a cgroup.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The optional exporter op provides a way for processes to transfer
charge of a buffer to a different process. This is essential for the
cases where a central allocator process does allocations for various
subsystems, hands over the fd to the client who
requested the memory and drops all references to the allocated memory.
