[PATCH v9 05/15] dma-buf/sync_file: Surface sync-file uABI

Rob Clark robdclark at gmail.com
Thu Mar 2 23:53:27 UTC 2023


From: Rob Clark <robdclark at chromium.org>

We had all of the internal driver APIs, but not the all important
userspace uABI, in the dma-buf doc.  Fix that.  And re-arrange the
comments slightly as otherwise the comments for the ioctl nr defines
would not show up.

v2: Fix docs build warning coming from newly including the uabi header
    in the docs build
