Linux kernel source tree
ed63bb1d1f
By traversing /proc/*/fd and /proc/*/map_files, processes with CAP_ADMIN can get a lot of fine-grained data about how shmem buffers are shared among processes. stat(2) on each entry gives the caller a unique ID (st_ino), the buffer's size (st_size), and even the number of pages currently charged to the buffer (st_blocks / 512). In contrast, all dma-bufs share the same anonymous inode. So while we can count how many dma-buf fds or mappings a process has, we can't get the size of the backing buffers or tell if two entries point to the same dma-buf. On systems with debugfs, we can get a per-buffer breakdown of size and reference count, but can't tell which processes are actually holding the references to each buffer. Replace the singleton inode with full-fledged inodes allocated by alloc_anon_inode(). This involves creating and mounting a mini-pseudo-filesystem for dma-buf, following the example in fs/aio.c.

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.
