Add support for damage handling and deferred I/O to fbdev-dma. This
enables fbdev-dma to support all DMA-memory-based DRM drivers, even
such with a dirty callback in their framebuffers.

The patch adds the code for deferred I/O and also sets a dedicated
helper for struct fb_ops.fb_mmap that support coherent mappings.

Shouldn't this be FB_GEN_DEFAULT_DEFERRED_DMAMEM_OPS() instead ?

I know that right now the macros are the same but I believe that it was
added it for a reason ?

Oh, thanks for noticing! I asked for that macro specifically for this reason. It went through the omap tree and hadn't arrived in drm-misc-next when I first made these patches. I'll update the patch accordingly.


+static int drm_fbdev_dma_fb_mmap(struct fb_info *info, struct vm_area_struct *vma)
+{

I noticed that some drivers do:

                  vma->vm_page_prot = pgprot_writecombine(vm_get_page_prot(vma->vm_flags));

I see that vm_get_page_prot() is a per-architecture function, but I don't
know about the implications of getting the pgprot_t from the vma->vm_flags
set or just using the current vma->vm_page_prot value...

That's in interesting observation. The code in the patch adds a WC flag to the existing vm_page_prot. The code in your example first creates a new vm_page_prot from the vm_flags field. Fbdev drivers generally use the former approach. So where does the original vm_page_prot value come from? (I think that's also the question behind your comment.)

I've looked through the kernel's mmap code from the syscall [1] to the place where it invokes the mmap callback. [2] Shortly before doing so, mmap_region() set's vm_page_prot from vm_flags like in your example. [3] I would assume there's no reason for drivers to call vm_get_page_prot() by themselves. DRM drivers specially seem to have the habit of doing so.
