Schedule the deferred-I/O worker instead of the damage worker after writing to the fbdev framebuffer. The deferred-I/O worker then performs the dirty-fb update. The fbdev emulation will initialize deferred I/O for all drivers that require damage updates. It is therefore a valid assumption that the deferred-I/O worker is present. It would be possible to perform the damage handling directly from within the write operation. But doing this could increase the overhead of the write or interfere with a concurrently scheduled deferred-I/O worker. Instead, scheduling the deferred-I/O worker with its regular delay of 50 ms removes load off the write operation and allows the deferred-I/O worker to handle multiple write operations that arrived during the delay time window. v3: * remove unused variable (lkp) v2: * keep drm_fb_helper_damage() (Daniel) * use fb_deferred_io_schedule_flush() (Daniel) * clarify comments (Daniel) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20221115115819.23088-6-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
