This patch adds extension to videobuf2-core. It allow to export a mmap buffer
as a file descriptor.

After thinking about this some more I'm not so sure we should allow this.
Exporting a buffer also means that the memory can't be freed as long as the
exported filehandle remains open.

That means that it is possible to make a malicious application that exports
the buffers and never frees them, which can cause havoc. I think that only
the filehandle that called REQBUFS/CREATE_BUFS should be allowed to export
buffers.

What do you think?

You are completely right.
But the problem is much more complex ... see below.

What kind of havoc do you mean? Resource leakage?

Notice that you should allow to call mmap() only for the file handles that called
REQBUFS/CREATE_BUFS. The mmap() creates a vma that holds a reference to a buffer.
As long as the mapping exists, the buffers cannot be freed and REQBUFS(count=0) returns -EBUSY.
According to V4L2 spec all the nodes share the same context, therefore
one process can call REQBUFS, and the other can call QUERYBUF and mmap().

Therefore if EXPBUF has to check vb2_queue_is_busy() then vb2_fop_mmap()
should do the same check too.

IMO, it is very difficult to develop a useful multi-client API that
would protect V4L2 from creating non-freeable buffers by a rogue applications.

I think that the requirements below:

- the buffers should be sharable between processes by mmap(), or DMABUF exporting
- the REQBUFS(count=0) should release the buffers

are contradictory and cannot be *reliably* satisfied at the same time.
Notice that REQBUFS(count=0) that unexpectedly return -EBUSY is not
a reliable solution. The application cannot do anything fix the problem
after receiving -EBUSY.

Anyway, I will apply the check for vb2_queue_is_busy() in v2b_ioctl_expbuf().
