Subject: [PATCH v3 2/4] fbdev: Add flag indicating framebuffer is allocated from kernel memory
Date: Fri, 23 May 2025 09:15:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250523161522.409504-3-mhklinux@outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250523161522.409504-1-mhklinux@outlook.com>

From: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@outlook.com>

Add a flag that fbdev drivers can set to indicate that the framebuffer
memory comes from alloc_pages() or similar as opposed to vmalloc()
memory. The flag is to be used by fbdev deferred I/O.

Signed-off-by: Michael Kelley <mhklinux@outlook.com>

Changes in v3:
* This patch is new in v3. The definition of FBINFO_KMEMFB
  was previously combined into the next patch of the series.
