Correctness mostly. fbdev's fbdefio tests for (the absence of) this flag and sets VM_IO accordingly. It's actually for userspace. Maybe userspace tests these flags as well and can optimize memcpy pattern for different types of caching. But I wouldn't expect it TBH.

Hm I thought so too, but the #define is in the internal header, not the uapi header. And I don't see any ioctl code in fbmem.c that would shove fb_info->flags to userspace.

I just grepped it myself and the only user of VIRTFB is the mmap code in fb_deferio.c, which (not) sets VM_IO. READS_FAST is unused. I'd then set the former, but not the latter. Ok?

Well READS_FAST might become used again, if/when the accel code is back. So I'd more keep that part, and leave the VIRTFB one alone, since you never set that for the defio case. I'm also not sure how that even works, since defio relies on struct page being present underneath, and you defo don't have struct page for VM_IO cases. So it all looks rather fishy.

Of course, the shadow buffer is regular memory and not an I/O range. The fbdefio on this buffer is completely implemented by the fbdev susbystem, which uses pages (i.e., no VM_PFNMAP flag). See https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/video/fbdev/core/fb_defio.c#L165 for the respective mmap code. Our GEM code never even knows that an mmap call has taken place. It just sees the occasional damage updates that fbdevio generates. Setting VIRTFB on the shadow buffer's memory is the right thing to do IMHO.

Oh dear I read that test inverted and thought if we do nothing, then we wouldn't get VM_IO. Imo if you explain this in the commit message (and maybe in a comment like "make sure defio mmap does not set VM_IO" then this has my Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Also I guess this should have a cc: stable since I guess without it it'll go boom on a bunch of the more obscure architectures ... I'm not sure the 2nd part that sets VIRTFB for other parts makes sense since mmap is fully under our control for that case. Imo drop it, but also I'm ok if you keep it. Also I guess yet another reason to just pull the defio stuff into our fbdev emulation layer, because we're just fighting a questionable midlayer here :-) -Daniel > > Best regards > Thomas > > > > -Daniel > > > >> > >> Best regards > >> Thomas > >> > >>> -Daniel > >>> > >>>> > >>>> Best regards > >>>> Thomas > >>>> > >>>>> -Daniel > >>>>> > >>>>>> > >>>>>> Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> > >>>>>> --- > >>>>>> drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c | 9 ++++++--- > >>>>>> 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > >>>>>> > >>>>>> diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > >>>>>> index ed43b987d306..f15127a32f7a 100644 > >>>>>> --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > >>>>>> +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > >>>>>> @@ -2346,6 +2346,7 @@ static int drm_fb_helper_generic_probe(struct drm_fb_helper *fb_helper, > >>>>>> fbi->fbops = &drm_fbdev_fb_ops; > >>>>>> fbi->screen_size = sizes->surface_height * fb->pitches[0]; > >>>>>> fbi->fix.smem_len = fbi->screen_size; > >>>>>> + fbi->flags = FBINFO_DEFAULT; > >>>>>> drm_fb_helper_fill_info(fbi, fb_helper, sizes); > >>>>>> @@ -2353,19 +2354,21 @@ static int drm_fb_helper_generic_probe(struct drm_fb_helper *fb_helper, > >>>>>> fbi->screen_buffer = vzalloc(fbi->screen_size); > >>>>>> if (!fbi->screen_buffer) > >>>>>> return -ENOMEM; > >>>>>> + fbi->flags |= FBINFO_VIRTFB | FBINFO_READS_FAST; > >>>>>> fbi->fbdefio = &drm_fbdev_defio; > >>>>>> - > >>>>>> fb_deferred_io_init(fbi); > >>>>>> } else { > >>>>>> /* buffer is mapped for HW framebuffer */ > >>>>>> ret = drm_client_buffer_vmap(fb_helper->buffer, &map); > >>>>>> if (ret) > >>>>>> return ret; > >>>>>> - if (map.is_iomem) > >>>>>> + if (map.is_iomem) { > >>>>>> fbi->screen_base = map.vaddr_iomem; > >>>>>> - else > >>>>>> + } else { > >>>>>> fbi->screen_buffer = map.vaddr; > >>>>>> + fbi->flags |= FBINFO_VIRTFB; > >>>>>> + } > >>>>>> /* > >>>>>> * Shamelessly leak the physical address to user-space.
