Hi Tomasz,

Thanks for the patch.

Just a couple of small comments below.

Why isn't this operation serialized by the dma-buf core itself ?

What about calling the dma-contig mmap handler here ? Is there a specific 
reason why you haven't implemented mmap support for dmabuf ?

As this function is only used below, where the exact value of the error code 
is ignored, what about just returning NULL on failure ? Another option is to 
return the error code in vb2_dc_get_dmabuf (not sure if that would be useful 
though).

You can move this assignment inside the first if, there's no need to execute 
it every time. The WARN_ON can also be moved inside the first if, as buf-
>sgt_base will either be NULL or valid. You can then get rid of the sgt 
variable initialization by testing if (!buf->sgt_base).
