Break out some shmem backend utils for future reuse by the TTM backend: shmem_alloc_st(), shmem_free_st() and __shmem_writeback() which we can use to provide a shmem-backed TTM page pool for cached-only TTM buffer objects. Main functional change here is that we now compute the page sizes using the dma segments rather than using the physical page address segments. v2(Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>) - Make sure we initialise the mapping on the error path in shmem_get_pages() Signed-off-by: Thomas Hellström <thomas.hellstrom@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20211018091055.1998191-1-matthew.auld@intel.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.
