This patch introduces three new ioctls. They all should be called on a data endpoint (ie. not ep0). They are: - FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_ATTACH, which takes the file descriptor of a DMABUF object to attach to the endpoint. - FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH, which takes the file descriptor of the DMABUF to detach from the endpoint. Note that closing the endpoint's file descriptor will automatically detach all attached DMABUFs. - FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_TRANSFER, which requests a data transfer from / to the given DMABUF. Its argument is a structure that packs the DMABUF's file descriptor, the size in bytes to transfer (which should generally be set to the size of the DMABUF), and a 'flags' field which is unused for now. Before this ioctl can be used, the related DMABUF must be attached with FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_ATTACH. These three ioctls enable the FunctionFS code to transfer data between the USB stack and a DMABUF object, which can be provided by a driver from a completely different subsystem, in a zero-copy fashion.

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.
