drm_gem_object_funcs->vm_ops alone can't handle everything which needs to be done for mmap(), tweaking vm_flags for example. So add a new mmap() callback to drm_gem_object_funcs where this code can go to. Note that the vm_ops field is not used in case the mmap callback is present, it is expected that the callback sets vma->vm_ops instead. Also setting vm_flags and vm_page_prot is the job of the new callback. so drivers have more control over these flags. drm_gem_mmap_obj() will use the new callback for object specific mmap setup. With this in place the need for driver-speific fops->mmap callbacks goes away, drm_gem_mmap can be hooked instead. drm_gem_prime_mmap() will use the new callback too to just mmap gem objects directly instead of jumping though loops to make drm_gem_object_lookup() and fops->mmap work.

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.
