    If this succeeds, dma_buf_export allocates a dma_buf structure, and returns a
    pointer to the same. It also associates an anonymous file with this buffer,
    so it can be exported. On failure to allocate the dma_buf object, it returns
    NULL.
 
+   'exp_name' is the name of exporter - to facilitate information while

+
+   Exporting modules which do not wish to provide any specific name may use the
+   helper define 'dma_buf_export()', with the same arguments as above, but
+   without the last argument; a __FILE__ pre-processor directive will be
+   inserted in place of 'exp_name' instead.
