The reason behind that patch is associated with videobuf2 subsystem (or more genrally with v4l2 framework) and user created dma buffers (udmabuf). In some circumstances when dealing with V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF buffers videobuf2 subsystem wants to use dma_buf_vmap() method on the attached dma buffer. As udmabuf does not have .vmap operation implemented, such dma_buf_vmap() natually fails. videobuf2_common: __vb2_queue_alloc: allocated 3 buffers, 1 plane(s) each videobuf2_common: __prepare_dmabuf: buffer for plane 0 changed videobuf2_common: __prepare_dmabuf: failed to map dmabuf for plane 0 videobuf2_common: __buf_prepare: buffer preparation failed: -14 The patch itself seems to be strighforward. It adds implementation of .vmap and .vunmap methods to 'struct dma_buf_ops udmabuf_ops'. .vmap method itself uses vm_map_ram() to map pages linearly into the kernel virtual address space. .vunmap removes mapping created earlier by .vmap. All locking and 'vmapping counting' is done in dma_buf.c so it seems to be redundant/unnecessary in .vmap/.vunmap.

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 Restructured Text 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.
