The VRAM helpers managed the framebuffer memory for mgag200. This came with several problems, as some MGA device require the scanout address to be located at VRAM offset 0. It's incompatible with the page-flip semantics of DRM's atomic modesettting. With atomic modesetting, old and new framebuffers have to be located in VRAM at the same time. So at least one of them has to reside at a non-0 offset. This patch replaces VRAM helpers with SHMEM helpers. GEM SHMEM buffers reside in system memory, and are shadow-copied into VRAM during page flips. The shadow copy always starts at VRAM offset 0. v2: * revert dev->pdev changes Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Tested-by: John Donnelly <John.p.donnelly@oracle.com> Acked-by: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@collabora.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20200515083233.32036-16-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.
