Subject: [PATCH] fb_defio: add first_io callback
Date: Sat, 31 Dec 2011 10:45:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201112311145.47717.heiko@sntech.de> (raw)
With this optional callback the driver is notified when the first page
is entered into the pagelist and a new deferred_io call is scheduled.
A possible use-case for this is runtime-pm. In the first_io call
pm_runtime_get()
could be called, which starts an asynchronous runtime_resume of the
device. In the deferred_io callback a call to
pm_runtime_barrier()
makes the sure, the device is resumed by then and a
pm_runtime_put()
may put the device back to sleep.
Also, some SoCs may use the runtime-pm system to determine if they
are able to enter deeper idle states. Therefore it is necessary to
keep the use-count from the first written page until the conclusion
of the screen update, to prevent the system from going to sleep before
completing the pending update.
