Takashi Iwai 7e8edae39f ALSA: pcm: Handle special page mapping in the default mmap handler
When a driver needs to deal with a special buffer like a SG or a
vmalloc buffer, it has to set up the PCM page ops explicitly for the
corresponding helper function.  This is rather error-prone and many
people forgot or incorrectly used it.

For simplifying the call patterns and avoiding such a potential bug,
this patch enhances the PCM default mmap handler to check the
(pre-)allocated buffer type and handles the page gracefully depending
on the buffer type.  If the PCM page ops is given, the ops is still
used in a higher priority.  The new code path is only for the default
(NULL page ops) case.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
