Conversely, the gadget is unregistered after the first USB function closes its endpoints. + +DMABUF interface +================ + +FunctionFS additionally supports a DMABUF based interface, where the +userspace can attach DMABUF objects (externally created) to an endpoint, +and subsequently use them for data transfers. + +A userspace application can then use this interface to share DMABUF +objects between several interfaces, allowing it to transfer data in a +zero-copy fashion, for instance between IIO and the USB stack. + +As part of this interface, three new IOCTLs have been added. These three +IOCTLs have to be performed on a data endpoint (ie. not ep0). They are: + + ``FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_ATTACH(int)`` + Attach the DMABUF object, identified by its file descriptor, to the + data endpoint. Returns zero on success, and a negative errno value + on error. + + ``FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH(int)`` + Detach the given DMABUF object, identified by its file descriptor, + from the data endpoint. Returns zero on success, and a negative + errno value on error. Note that closing the endpoint's file + descriptor will automatically detach all attached DMABUFs. + + ``FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_TRANSFER(struct usb_ffs_dmabuf_transfer_req *)`` + Enqueue the previously attached DMABUF to the transfer queue. + The argument is a structure that packs the DMABUF's file descriptor, + the size in bytes to transfer (which should generally correspond to + the size of the DMABUF), and a 'flags' field which is unused + for now. Returns zero on success, and a negative errno value on + error.
