Subject: [PATCH 4/5 v4] arc: Add our own implementation of fb_pgprotect()
Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2016 19:48:35 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458838116-24954-5-git-send-email-abrodkin@synopsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458838116-24954-1-git-send-email-abrodkin@synopsys.com>

During mmaping of frame-buffer pages to user-space
fb_protect() is called to set proper page settings.

In case of ARC we need to mark pages that are mmaped to
user as uncached because of 2 reasons:
 * Huge amount of data if passing through data cache will
   thrash cache a lot making cache almost useless for other
   less traffic hungry processes.
 * Data written by user in FB will be immediately available for
   hardware (such as PGU etc) without requirements to flush data
   cache regularly.

Changes v3 -> v4:
 * This change was introduced only in v4.
