Use DRM's shadow-plane helper to map and access the GEM object's buffer within kernel address space. Encapsulates the vmap logic in the GEM-DMA helpers. The sharp-memory driver currently reads the vaddr field from the GME buffer object directly. This only works because GEM code 'automagically' sets vaddr. Shadow-plane helpers perform the same steps, but with correct abstraction behind drm_gem_vmap(). The shadow-plane state provides the buffer address in kernel address space and the format-conversion state. v2: - fix typo in commit description Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627152327.8244-1-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
