Subject: [PATCH v5 07/10] media: videobuf2: Allow exporting of a struct dmabuf
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:53:13 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917-b4-vchiq-isp-v5-7-2d8870add2c0@ideasonboard.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917-b4-vchiq-isp-v5-0-2d8870add2c0@ideasonboard.com>

From: Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@raspberrypi.com>

videobuf2 only allowed exporting a dmabuf as a file descriptor,
but there are instances where having the struct dma_buf is
useful within the kernel.

Split the current implementation into two, one step which
exports a struct dma_buf, and the second which converts that
into an fd.

Changes in v5:
- Update documentation of return type to only ERR_PTR and not NULL
Changes in v4:
- Return a pointer to struct dmabuf instead of passing it as a double
  pointer argument and returning an int for errors (Laurent)
- Document the return type (Paul)
