The reason behind that patch is associated with videobuf2 subsystem (or more genrally with v4l2 framework) and user created dma buffers (udmabuf). In some circumstances when dealing with V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF buffers videobuf2 subsystem wants to use dma_buf_vmap() method on the attached dma buffer. As udmabuf does not have .vmap operation implemented, such dma_buf_vmap() natually fails.
videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __vb2_queue_alloc: allocated 3 buffers, 1 plane(s) each videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __prepare_dmabuf: buffer for plane 0 changed videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __prepare_dmabuf: failed to map dmabuf for plane 0 videobuf2_common: [cap-000000003473b2f1] __buf_prepare: buffer preparation failed: -14
The patch itself seems to be strighforward. It adds implementation of .vmap method to 'struct dma_buf_ops udmabuf_ops'. .vmap method itself uses vm_map_ram() to map pages linearly into the kernel virtual address space (only if such mapping hasn't been created yet).
Of hand that sounds sane to me.
You should probably mention somewhere in a code comment that the cached vaddr is protected by the reservation lock being taken. That's not necessary obvious to everybody.
Apart from that looks good to me.
Adding a comment won't hurt.
We have the dma_resv_assert_held() in dma_buf_vmap() that will help spotting a missing lock at runtime by developers. While the dmbuf_ops->vmap() shouldn't be ever used directly by importers.

Give me some time guys. I need to prepare patch agains 6.1. And this is my first time, so now it hurts.
