SubjectRE: [PATCH] video: hyperv_fb: Directly use the MMIO VRAM
Date
Hi Wei Liu,
Please do not pick up this patch, because actually MMIO VRAM can not work
with fb_deferred_io.

Previously I didn't test Xorg -- sorry. As soon as I tested it, I got the below
warning and the Xorg program ternimated immediately:

[ 28.148432] WARNING: CPU: 19 PID: 1410 at mm/vmalloc.c:383 vmalloc_to_page+0x14b/0x150

The issue is that fb_deferred_io_page() requires that the PFN be backed by a
struct page, but it looks the MMIO address does not have the struct page backed.

So I have to drop this patch.
Thanks Wei Hu and Michael for pointing this out!

FYI: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c:
static struct page *fb_deferred_io_page(struct fb_info *info, unsigned long offs)
{
void *screen_base = (void __force *) info->screen_base;
struct page *page;

if (is_vmalloc_addr(screen_base + offs))
page = vmalloc_to_page(screen_base + offs);
else
page = pfn_to_page((info->fix.smem_start + offs) >> PAGE_SHIFT);

return page;
}

/* this is to find and return the vmalloc-ed fb pages */
static vm_fault_t fb_deferred_io_fault(struct vm_fault *vmf)
{
unsigned long offset;
struct page *page;
struct fb_info *info = vmf->vma->vm_private_data;

offset = vmf->pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;
if (offset >= info->fix.smem_len)
return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

page = fb_deferred_io_page(info, offset);
if (!page)
return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

Thanks,
-- Dexuan
