* with calls to dma_buf_begin_cpu_access() and dma_buf_end_cpu_access()
* access.
*
- * To support dma_buf objects residing in highmem cpu access is page-based
- * using an api similar to kmap. Accessing a dma_buf is done in aligned chunks
- * of PAGE_SIZE size. Before accessing a chunk it needs to be mapped, which
- * returns a pointer in kernel virtual address space. Afterwards the chunk
- * needs to be unmapped again. There is no limit on how often a given chunk
- * can be mapped and unmapped, i.e. the importer does not need to call
- * begin_cpu_access again before mapping the same chunk again.
- *
- * Interfaces::
- * void \*dma_buf_kmap(struct dma_buf \*, unsigned long);
- * void dma_buf_kunmap(struct dma_buf \*, unsigned long, void \*);
- *
- * Implementing the functions is optional for exporters and for importers all
- * the restrictions of using kmap apply.
- *
- * dma_buf kmap calls outside of the range specified in begin_cpu_access are
- * undefined. If the range is not PAGE_SIZE aligned, kmap needs to succeed on
- * the partial chunks at the beginning and end but may return stale or bogus
- * data outside of the range (in these partial chunks).
- *
- * For some cases the overhead of kmap can be too high, a vmap interface
- * is introduced. This interface should be used very carefully, as vmalloc
- * space is a limited resources on many architectures.
+ * Since for most kernel internal dma-buf accesses need the entire buffer, a
+ * vmap interface is introduced. Note that on very old 32-bit architectures
+ * vmalloc space might be limited and result in vmap calls failing.
*
* Interfaces::
