Subject: Re:

That preprocessor define worked but I'm still confused about this
DRM_FILE_PAGE_OFFSET thing.  Check out drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c
right above drm_gem_init.

#if BITS_PER_LONG == 64

Why is having a 64-bit file offsets critical, causing -EINVAL on mmap?
What problems might be associated with using (0x10000000UL >>
PAGE_SHIFT) ?
