Add drm_fb_helper_memory_range_to_clip(), a helper function that accepts an linear range of video memory and converts it into a rectangle. The computed rectangle describes the damaged area in terms of scanlines and pixels per scanline. While at it, make the code more readable by using struct drm_rect and related helpers. The code was previously part of the deferred I/O helpers, but is also useful for damage handling of regular write operations. Update the deferred I/O code to use the new function. v2: * rename helper (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220209161617.3553-4-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.
