I can tell you right now anything that relies on deferred I/O that doesn't have an MMU is fundamentally broken by design. It just can't work. Anyway, I've sort of thrown my arms in the air and given up on this, because there are too many nommu things that seem to one way or another end up selecting something that relies on an MMU. If I try to propagate the dependency through I'm going to end up changing an absolute ton of stuff, not all of which is necessarily tested against requiring CONFIG_MMU (they may select the defio stuff but not use it for instance). So I've dropped this dependency, which will eliminate these errors, and reluctantly put an #ifdef CONFIG_MMU ... #endif block in the driver. It'd be good if somebody could go through and ensure all the stuff that _needs_ deferred I/O that _relies_ on an MMU triggering write-protection faults to do so actually explicitly depends on CONFIG_MMU, but that person will have to be a drm/fbdev person who is sure that the propagation doesn't inavertently break something. These error reports correctly highlight that there's an issue however, so thank you for reporting, but fundamentally underlying are some dusty cobwebs that need attention _at some point_ :) Thanks, Lorenzo > > [1] https://github.com/paulgazz/kmax#using-kismet > [2] https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/?q=kismet > [3] https://download.01.org/0day-ci/archive/20250207/202502070305.1rGTDnW0-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/reproduce > > > > > Thanks! > > > > > reproduce: (https://download.01.org/0day-ci/archive/20250207/202502070305.1rGTDnW0-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/reproduce) > > > > > > If you fix the issue in a separate patch/commit (i.e. not just a new version of > > > the same patch/commit), kindly add following tags > > > | Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx> > > > | Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202502070305.1rGTDnW0-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/ > > > > > > kismet warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>) > > > >> kismet: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for FB_DEFERRED_IO when selected by FB_DMAMEM_HELPERS_DEFERRED > > > WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for FB_DEFERRED_IO > > > Depends on [n]: HAS_IOMEM [=y] && FB_CORE [=y] && MMU [=n] > > > Selected by [y]: > > > - FB_DMAMEM_HELPERS_DEFERRED [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] && FB_CORE [=y] > > > > This is a nommu device selecting a feature that absolutely requires an > > mmu.
