From cd9f7f7ac5932129fe81b4c7559cfcb226ec7c5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Zimmermann tzimmermann@suse.de Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2022 12:53:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] drm/fb-helper: Mark screen buffers in system memory with FBINFO_VIRTFB
Mark screen buffers in system memory with FBINFO_VIRTFB. Otherwise, fbdev deferred I/O marks mmap'ed areas of system memory with VM_IO. (There's an inverse relationship between the two flags.)
For shadow buffers, also set the FBINFO_READS_FAST hint.
v3: * change FB_ to FBINFO_ in commit description v2: * updated commit description (Daniel) * added Fixes tag
