SubjectRe: [PATCH v7] Add udmabuf misc device
  Hi,

No particular strong reason, just that using 42 was less boring than
starting with 0x40.

Isn't it simple enough?

But, well, yes, I guess I can add some kerneldoc comments.

It should not. If it actually happens it would be a bug somewhere,
thats why the WARN_ON.

Why? Should not make a difference ...

Hmm, I guess EBADFD would be reasonable in case the file handle isn't a
memfd. Other suggestions?

I'll prepare a fixup patch series addressing most of the other
review comments.

cheers,
