The msm driver implements a custom dumb_map_offset callback. This implementation acquires the msm_gem_lock, but the underlying drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() function is already thread-safe regarding the VMA offset manager (it acquires the mgr->vm_lock internally). Switching to the generic drm_gem_dumb_map_offset() helper provides several benefits: 1. Removes the unnecessary locking overhead (locking leftovers). 2. Adds a missing check to reject mapping of imported objects, which is invalid for dumb buffers. 3. Allows for the removal of the msm_gem_dumb_map_offset() wrapper and the msm_gem_mmap_offset() helper function. The logic from msm_gem_mmap_offset() has been inlined into msm_ioctl_gem_info() to maintain functionality without the separate helper. This addresses the TODO: "Documentation/gpu/todo.rst: Remove custom dumb_map_offset implementations" Signed-off-by: Swaraj Gaikwad <swarajgaikwad1925@gmail.com> Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/694727/ Message-ID: <20251215022850.12358-1-swarajgaikwad1925@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robin.clark@oss.qualcomm.com>
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.
