Subject: [PATCH] dma-buf: Expose buffer size to userspace (v2)
Each dma-buf has an associated size and it's reasonable for userspace
to want to know what it is.
Since userspace already has an fd, expose the size using the
size = lseek(fd, SEEK_END, 0); lseek(fd, SEEK_CUR, 0);
idiom.
v2: Added Daniel's sugeested documentation, with minor fixups

+Other Interfaces Exposed to Userspace on the dma-buf FD
+------------------------------------------------------

+- Since kernel 3.12 the dma-buf FD supports the llseek system call, but only
+ with offset=0 and whence=SEEK_END|SEEK_SET. SEEK_SET is supported to allow
+ the usual size discover pattern size = SEEK_END(0); SEEK_SET(0). Every other
+ llseek operation will report -EINVAL.
+
+ If llseek on dma-buf FDs isn't support the kernel will report -ESPIPE for all
+ cases. Userspace can use this to detect support for discovering the dma-buf
+ size using llseek.
