There's no need to give the page an address_space. Leaving the

the same way that it's handled now, and that was the only reason to
set the address_space in the first place.

This patch in mainline as commit ccf953d8f3d6 ("fb_defio: Remove custom
address_space_operations") causes my Hyper-V based VM to no longer make
it to a graphical environment.
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for the report. I sent Daniel a revert patch with a full
explanation last week, which I assume he'll queue up for a pull soon.
You can just git revert ccf953d8f3d6 for yourself until that shows up.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you for the quick response! I will keep an eye out for the patch
while reverting it locally in the meantime.
Cheers,
Nathan
