I don't understand the confusion here.  The code is very simple and the
description seems very clear.  No need to redo the patch.  I think
Peter tested it before the WARN_ON() was added so he probably didn't
see the WARN_ON().  I told him to add that because it's pretty obvious
what will happen just from reading the code.

I don't see how you can disagree?  Before your patch the
fb_deferred_io_init() did not use info->fix.smem_len and now it does.
