interesting ways depending upong the exporter (if userspace starts depending
upon this implicit synchronization).

Other Interfaces Exposed to Userspace on the dma-buf FD
------------------------------------------------------

- Since kernel 3.12 the dma-buf FD supports the llseek system call, but only
with offset=0 and whence=SEEK_END|SEEK_SET. SEEK_SET is supported to allow
the usual size discover pattern size = SEEK_END(0); SEEK_SET(0). Every other
llseek operation will report -EINVAL.

If llseek on dma-buf FDs isn't support the kernel will report -ESPIPE for all
cases. Userspace can use this to detect support for discovering the dma-buf
size using llseek.
