Functions in the atomic commit tail are not allowed to acquire the dmabuf's reservation lock. So we cannot legally call the GEM object's vmap functionality in atomic_update. Instead use struct drm_shadow_plane_state and friends. It vmaps the framebuffer BOs in prepare_fb and vunmaps them in cleanup_fb. The cursor plane state stores the mapping's address. The pinning of the BO is implicitly done by vmap. As an extra benefit, there's no source of runtime errors left in atomic_update. v2: * rebase patch onto struct drm_shadow_plane_state Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Tested-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210209121042.24098-3-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
