This framework allows a unified userspace interface for dma-buf exporters, allowing userland to allocate specific types of memory for use in dma-buf sharing. Each heap is given its own device node, which a user can allocate a dma-buf fd from using the DMA_HEAP_IOC_ALLOC. This code is an evoluiton of the Android ION implementation, and a big thanks is due to its authors/maintainers over time for their effort: Rebecca Schultz Zavin, Colin Cross, Benjamin Gaignard, Laura Abbott, and many other contributors!

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.
