2007-10-16	fbdev: change asm/uaccess.h to linux/uaccess.h	Krzysztof Helt	1	-1/+0
	This patch replaces <asm/uaccess.h> with <linux/uaccess.h> after the checkpatch.pl hint. The include of <asm/uaccess.h> is removed if the driver does not use it.

2007-05-08	fbdev: kill sparse warning in deferred IO	Antonino A. Daplas	1	-1/+3
	Kill the following in fb_defio.c: drivers/video/fb_defio.c:40:43: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/video/fb_defio.c:40:43: expected void addr drivers/video/fb_defio.c:40:43: got char [noderef] screen_base<asn:2> The framebuffer memory of these types of devices are allocated from system RAM.

2007-05-08	fb: fsync() method for deferred I/O flush.	Paul Mundt	1	-0/+12
	There are cases when we do not want to wait on the delay for automatically updating the "real" framebuffer, this implements a simple ->fsync() hook for explicitly flushing the deferred I/O work. The ->page_mkwrite() handler will rearm the work queue normally.

2007-05-08	fbdev: mm: Deferred IO support	Jaya Kumar	1	-0/+137
	This implements deferred IO support in fbdev. Deferred IO is a way to delay and repurpose IO. This implementation is done using mm's page_mkwrite and page_mkclean hooks in order to detect, delay and then rewrite IO. This functionality is used by hecubafb. [adaplas] This is useful for graphics hardware with no directly addressable/mappable framebuffer. Implementing this will allow the "framebuffer" to be accesible from user space via mmap().
