Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fbdev: Make deferred I/O work as advertized
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:03:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k5kt6vd3.fsf@pike.pond.sub.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87tzjx6vj3.fsf@pike.pond.sub.org>
Deferred I/O was utterly broken. Reading the mmap()ed framebuffer
worked, but writing it made the VM endlessly invoke
vm_ops.page_mkwrite(). That happened because we failed to set
page->mapping and page->index.
The fix is to set them, and clean up properly before the framebuffer
gets released.
Fix extracted from this linux-fbdev-devel message:
