RE: [PATCH] video: hyperv_fb: Directly use the MMIO VRAM

[Dexuan Cui <decui@microsoft.com>]

Hi Wei Liu,
Please do not pick up this patch, because actually MMIO VRAM can not work
with fb_deferred_io.

Previously I didn't test Xorg -- sorry. As soon as I tested it, I got the below
warning and the Xorg program ternimated immediately:

The issue is that fb_deferred_io_page() requires that the PFN be backed by a
struct page, but it looks the MMIO address does not have the struct page backed.

So I have to drop this patch. 
Thanks Wei Hu and Michael for pointing this out!

FYI: drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c:
static struct page *fb_deferred_io_page(struct fb_info *info, unsigned long offs)
{
        void *screen_base = (void __force *) info->screen_base;
        struct page *page;

        if (is_vmalloc_addr(screen_base + offs))
                page = vmalloc_to_page(screen_base + offs);
        else
                page = pfn_to_page((info->fix.smem_start + offs) >> PAGE_SHIFT);

        return page;
}

/* this is to find and return the vmalloc-ed fb pages */
static vm_fault_t fb_deferred_io_fault(struct vm_fault *vmf)
{
        unsigned long offset;
        struct page *page;
        struct fb_info *info = vmf->vma->vm_private_data;

        offset = vmf->pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;
        if (offset >= info->fix.smem_len)
                return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

        page = fb_deferred_io_page(info, offset);
        if (!page)
                return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

Thanks,
