+/**
+ * DOC: file operations
+ *
+ * Drivers must define the file operations structure that forms the DRM
+ * userspace API entry point, even though most of those operations are
+ * implemented in the DRM core. The mandatory functions are drm_open(),
+ * drm_read(), drm_ioctl() and drm_compat_ioctl if CONFIG_COMPAT is enabled.
+ * Drivers which implement private ioctls that require 32/64 bit compatibility
+ * support must provided their onw .compat_ioctl() handler that processes
+ * private ioctls and calls drm_compat_ioctl() for core ioctls.
+ *
+ * In addition drm_read() and drm_poll() provide support for DRM events. DRM
+ * events are a generic and extensible means to send asynchronous events to
+ * userspace through the file descriptor. They are used to send vblank event and
+ * page flip completions by the KMS API. But drivers can also use it for their
+ * own needs, e.g. to signal completion of rendering.
+ *
+ * The memory mapping implementation will vary depending on how the driver
+ * manages memory. Legacy drivers will use the deprecated drm_legacy_mmap()
+ * function, modern drivers should use one of the provided memory-manager
+ * specific implementations. For GEM-based drivers this is drm_gem_mmap().
+ *
+ * No other file operations are supported by the DRM userspace API. Overall the
+ * following is an example #file_operations structure:
+ *
+ * static const example_drm_fops = {
+ * .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+ * .open = drm_open,
+ * .release = drm_release,
+ * .unlocked_ioctl = drm_ioctl,
+ * #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
+ * .compat_ioctl = drm_compat_ioctl,
+ * #endif
+ * .poll = drm_poll,
+ * .read = drm_read,
+ * .llseek = no_llseek,
+ * .mmap = drm_gem_mmap,
+ * };
