Tomi? Aside: When resending patches please include all the r-b/acks and Cc: people who participated in the discussion explicitly. That includes conditional r-b tags if you do the changes (like some of the r-b I'm doing right now). Makes life _much_ easier for maintainers ;-) -Daniel > --- > > Changes since v1: > - Expand commit message > > drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c | 3 ++- > include/linux/fb.h | 1 + > 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c b/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c > index 57721c7..74b5bca 100644 > --- a/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c > +++ b/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c > @@ -164,7 +164,7 @@ static const struct address_space_operations fb_deferred_io_aops = { > .set_page_dirty = fb_deferred_io_set_page_dirty, > }; > > -static int fb_deferred_io_mmap(struct fb_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma) > +int fb_deferred_io_mmap(struct fb_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma) > { > vma->vm_ops = &fb_deferred_io_vm_ops; > vma->vm_flags |= VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP; > @@ -173,6 +173,7 @@ static int fb_deferred_io_mmap(struct fb_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma) > vma->vm_private_data = info; > return 0; > } > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(fb_deferred_io_mmap); > > /* workqueue callback */ > static void fb_deferred_io_work(struct work_struct *work) > diff --git a/include/linux/fb.h b/include/linux/fb.h > index dfe8835..a964d07 100644 > --- a/include/linux/fb.h > +++ b/include/linux/fb.h > @@ -673,6 +673,7 @@ static inline void __fb_pad_aligned_buffer(u8 *dst, u32 d_pitch, > } > > /* drivers/video/fb_defio.c */ > +int fb_deferred_io_mmap(struct fb_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma); > extern void fb_deferred_io_init(struct fb_info *info); > extern void fb_deferred_io_open(struct fb_info *info, > struct inode *inode, > -- > 2.2.2 >

Export fb_deferred_io_mmap so drivers can change vma->vm_page_prot. When the framebuffer memory is allocated using dma_alloc_writecombine() instead of vmalloc(), I get cache syncing problems on ARM. This solves it: static int drm_fbdev_cma_deferred_io_mmap(struct fb_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma) { fb_deferred_io_mmap(info, vma); vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_writecombine(vma->vm_page_prot); return 0; } Could this have been done in the core? Drivers that don't set (struct fb_ops *)->fb_mmap, gets a call to fb_pgprotect() at the end of the default fb_mmap implementation (drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c). This is an architecture specific function that on many platforms uses pgprot_writecombine(), but not on all. And looking at some of the fb_mmap implementations, some of them sets vm_page_prot to nocache for instance, so I think the safest bet is to do this in the driver and not in the fbdev core. And we can't call fb_pgprotect() from fb_deferred_io_mmap() either because we don't have access to the file pointer that powerpc needs.
