Are you working against linux-next? The get_maintainer.pl script should
have told you to CC a bunch of other Android maintainers as well.

But why would anyone ever want to do that? What is wrong with the
existing interfaces that drivers use to access buffers created by ion?
What code uses this new interface?
We need a bit more information please.
thanks,

Any driver, sharing the buffers, created by ion, through dma-buf, may
get back the
sgtable describing the buffer for device DMA and may call dma_buf_vmap
to get back
the kernel virtual address of the buffer to get access to it. Currently,
the second
option is missing. Actually, the buffer already mapped by ion
implementation.
> What code uses this new interface?
This is not the new interface. this is the missing implementation of the
last two ops:
struct dma_buf_ops {
int (* attach) (struct dma_buf *, struct device *, struct
dma_buf_attachment *);
void (* detach) (struct dma_buf *, struct dma_buf_attachment *);
struct sg_table * (* map_dma_buf) (struct dma_buf_attachment *, enum
dma_data_direction);
void (* unmap_dma_buf) (struct dma_buf_attachment *,struct sg_table
*, enum dma_data_direction);
void (* release) (struct dma_buf *);
int (* begin_cpu_access) (struct dma_buf *, enum dma_data_direction);
int (* end_cpu_access) (struct dma_buf *, enum dma_data_direction);
void *(* map_atomic) (struct dma_buf *, unsigned long);
void (* unmap_atomic) (struct dma_buf *, unsigned long, void *);
void *(* map) (struct dma_buf *, unsigned long);
void (* unmap) (struct dma_buf *, unsigned long, void *);
int (* mmap) (struct dma_buf *, struct vm_area_struct *vma);
void *(* vmap) (struct dma_buf *);
void (* vunmap) (struct dma_buf *, void *vaddr);
};

Thanks,
Alexey
The point is that you have to send a v3 patch which includes that
information. And please CC all the android folk as well.

Very odd formatting :(
Anyway, as Dan said, this needs to be put in the changelog text itself.
I know Intel has documentation and training for how to submit patches to
the kernel properly. Please use that resource and get your patch
submission reviewed by someone from the Linux kernel team at Intel
before resending this. Don't force the community to help you learn this
when you have people whose job it is to help out with this at your
company :)
thanks,
