When dma_buf_map struct is passed around, it's useful to be able to
initialize a second map that takes care of reading/writing to an offset
of the original map.

Add a helper that copies the struct and add the offset to the proper
address.

It's illegal to access .vaddr with raw pointer. Always use a dma_buf_memcpy_() interface. So why would you need this macro when you have dma_buf_memcpy_*() with an offset parameter?

I did a better job with an example in 20220127093332.wnkd2qy4tvwg5i5l@ldmartin-desk2

While doing this series I had code like this when using the API in a function to
parse/update part of the struct mapped:

	int bla_parse_foo(struct dma_buf_map *bla_map)
	{
		struct dma_buf_map foo_map = *bla_map;
		...

		dma_buf_map_incr(&foo_map, offsetof(struct bla, foo));

		...
	}

Pasting the rest of the reply here:

I had exactly this code above, but after writting quite a few patches
using it, particularly with functions that have to write to 2 maps (see
patch 6 for example), it felt much better to have something to
initialize correctly from the start

        struct dma_buf_map other_map = *bla_map;
        /* poor Lucas forgetting dma_buf_map_incr(map, offsetof(...)); */

is error prone and hard to debug since you will be reading/writting
from/to another location rather than exploding

While with the construct below

        other_map;
        ...
        other_map = INITIALIZER()

I can rely on the compiler complaining about uninitialized var. And
in most of the cases I can just have this single line in the beggining of the
function when the offset is constant:

        struct dma_buf_map other_map = INITIALIZER(bla_map, offsetof(..));


This is useful when you have several small functions in charge of
updating/reading inner struct members.


I've also been very careful to distinguish between .vaddr and .vaddr_iomem, even in places where I wouldn't have to. This macro breaks the assumption.

That's one reason I think if we have this macro, it should be in the
dma_buf_map.h header (or whatever we rename these APIs to). It's the
only place where we can safely add code that relies on the implementation
of the "private" fields in struct dma_buf_map.
