From 98b4483c9bebaad5944c7788ef6a60d154e4ef0f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rob Clark Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:04:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf: add get_dma_buf() Works in a similar way to get_file(), and is needed in cases such as when the exporter needs to also keep a reference to the dmabuf (that is later released with a dma_buf_put()), and possibly other similar cases.
