This is really just an alias of mmap_gtt. The 'mmap offset' nomenclature comes from the value returned by this ioctl which is the offset into the device fd which userpace uses with mmap(2). mmap_gtt was our initial mmap_offset implementation, this extends our CPU mmap support to allow additional fault handlers that depends on the object's backing pages. Note that we multiplex mmap_gtt and mmap_offset through the same ioctl, and use the zero extending behaviour of drm to differentiate between them, when we inspect the flags. To support multiple mmap types on an object we need to support multiple mmap_offsets for an object (each offset in the global device address space corresponding to a unique instance of the object for a file + mmap type). As we drop the simplified drm core idea of a single mmap_offset, we need to provide replacement hooks for the dumb mmap interface as well.

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.
