Unfortunately I had to drop the drm_gem_prime_mmap() since the existing expectation is that we hand the faulthandler off to shmemfs so we can release the module while the memory is exported. The other issue happens to be for arch/x86 where just setting PAT=WC on the PTE does not flush the cache for that page, and the CPU will preferentially use the cache. That has caught us out more than once. -Chris _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
