The HW cursor's BO used to be mapped permanently into the kernel's address space. GEM's vmap operation will be protected by locks, and we don't want to lock the BO's for an indefinate period of time. Change the cursor code to map the HW BOs only during updates. The vmap operation in VRAM helpers is cheap, as a once estabished mapping is being reused until the BO actually moves. As the HW cursor BOs are permanently pinned, they never move at all. v2: * fix typos in commit description Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Acked-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20201209142527.26415-3-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.
