For shared, and read-only private mappings of graphics memory, use VM_PFNMAP instead of VM_MIXEDMAP. This means less accounting overhead when inserting and removing page-table entries. TTM doesn't do this by default, since there was a performance problem with book-keeping of write-combined mappings. Since vmwgfx solely uses cached mappings, that's not a problem and now that the TTM vm has largely been turned into helpers, we can use VM_PFNMAP on a per-driver basis Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@vmware.com> Reviewed-by: Roland Scheidegger <sroland@vmware.com>
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.
