I wonder whether we should require special allocations for these, and then just outright reject mmap on these buffers. mmap on dma-buf isn't a required feature. That would make sure that userspace cannot look at them. Also I'm kinda suspecting that there's not unlimited amounts of this magic invisible storage available anyway. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
