There's no direct harm, because for the shmem helpers these are noops on imported buffers. The trouble is in the locks these take - I want to change dma_buf_vmap locking, and so need to make sure that we only ever take certain locks on one side of the dma-buf interface: Either for exporters, or for importers. v2: Change the control flow less compared to what's there (Thomas) Tested-by: Boris Brezillon <boris.brezillon@collabora.com> Cc: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Cc: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Cc: Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> Cc: Noralf Trønnes <noralf@tronnes.org> Acked-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200514202256.490926-1-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch
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.
