[PATCH v2] staging: comedi: support vm_access_process for mmap'd buffer

Thu Apr 20 18:05:14 UTC 2017


If a process that has mmap'd a COMEDI buffer is being run under a
debugger such as GDB, the buffer contents are inaccessible from the
debugger.  Support the `access()` VM operation to allow the buffer
contents to be accessed by another process.

v2: correct maximum length in `comedi_vm_access()`.
