Hi Tomasz,
Thanks for the patch.

This patch adds extension to V4L2 api. It allow to export a mmap buffer as file descriptor. New ioctl VIDIOC_EXPBUF is added. It takes a buffer offset used by mmap and return a file descriptor on success.
I know code is more fun to write than documentation, but Documentation/DocBook/media/v4l will be sad if this patch is merged as-is ;-)

I don't think we will ever support exporting anything else than V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP buffers. What will happen for multiplanar buffers ?
offset from the start of the device memory for this plane,
(or a "cookie" that should be passed to mmap() as offset)
Shouldn't the mem_offset field always be set to the mmap cookie value ? I'm a bit confused by the "or" part, it seems to have been copied from the v4l2_buffer documentation directly. We should clarify that.

- descriptor. Uses the same 'cookie' as mmap() syscall. All reserved
fields
- must be set to zero.

Why is there a reserved field here ?
+1 to Laurent. Any particular need for reserved0 and reserved[13] below? I think one void user pointer is sufficient even for future need.
- __u32 mem_offset;
- __u32 reserved[13];
+};
Also, what is the reason for returning the fd through this structure? To keep it aligned with other v4l2 calls? I liked(or now hate making change in the app) how it was being returned through the ioctl in your last patch.
