+/**
+ * DOC: udmabuf
+ *
+ * udmabuf is a device driver which allows userspace to create
+ * dmabufs.  The memory used for these dmabufs must be backed by
+ * memfd.  The memfd must have F_SEAL_SHRINK and it must not have
+ * F_SEAL_WRITE.
+ *
+ * The driver has two ioctls, one to create a dmabuf from a single
+ * memory block and one to create a dmabuf from a list of memory
+ * blocks.
+ *
+ * UDMABUF_CREATE - _IOW('u', 0x42, udmabuf_create)
+ *
+ * UDMABUF_CREATE_LIST - _IOW('u', 0x43, udmabuf_create_list)
