[PATCH 0/4] ppc, fbdev: Clean up fbdev mmap helper

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2023-09-01 14:27:07 

Refactor fb_pgprotect() in PowerPC to work without struct file. Then
clean up and rename fb_pgprotect(). This change has been discussed at
[1] in the context of refactoring fbdev's mmap code.

The first three patches adapt PowerPC's internal interfaces to
provide a phys_mem_access_prot() that works without struct file. Neither
the architecture code or fbdev helpers need the parameter.

Patch 4 replaces fbdev's fb_pgprotect() with fb_pgprot_device() on
all architectures. The new helper with its stream-lined interface
enables more refactoring within fbdev's mmap implementation.

[PATCH 4/4] fbdev: Replace fb_pgprotect() with fb_pgprot_device()

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2023-09-01 14:27:08 

Rename the fbdev mmap helper fb_pgprotect() to fb_pgprot_device().
The helper sets VMA page-access flags for framebuffers in device I/O
memory. The new name follows pgprot_device(), which does the same for
arbitrary devices.

Also clean up the helper's parameters and return value. Instead of
the VMA instance, pass the individial parameters separately: existing
page-access flags, the VMAs start and end addresses and the offset
in the underlying device memory rsp file. Return the new page-access
flags. These changes align fb_pgprot_device() closer with pgprot_device.

[PATCH 3/4] arch/powerpc: Call internal __phys_mem_access_prot() in fbdev code

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2023-09-01 14:27:15 

Call __phys_mem_access_prot() from the fbdev mmap helper fb_pgprotect().
Allows us to avoid the file argument, which can then be removed from
fB_pgprotect() entirely. No other architecture uses the parameter.

[PATCH 2/4] arch/powerpc: Remove file parameter from phys_mem_access_prot code

From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de>
Date: 2023-09-01 14:27:17 

Remove 'file' parameter from struct machdep_calls.phys_mem_access_prot
and its implementation in pci_phys_mem_access_prot(). The file is not
used on PowerPC. By removing it, a later patch can simplify fbdev's
mmap code, which uses phys_mem_access_prot() on PowerPC.

Re: [PATCH 4/4] fbdev: Replace fb_pgprotect() with fb_pgprot_device()

Rename the fbdev mmap helper fb_pgprotect() to fb_pgprot_device().
The helper sets VMA page-access flags for framebuffers in device I/O
memory. The new name follows pgprot_device(), which does the same for
arbitrary devices.

Also clean up the helper's parameters and return value. Instead of
the VMA instance, pass the individial parameters separately: existing
page-access flags, the VMAs start and end addresses and the offset
in the underlying device memory rsp file. Return the new page-access
flags. These changes align fb_pgprot_device() closer with pgprot_device.

Refactor fb_pgprotect() in PowerPC to work without struct file. Then
clean up and rename fb_pgprotect(). This change has been discussed at
[1] in the context of refactoring fbdev's mmap code.

The first three patches adapt PowerPC's internal interfaces to
provide a phys_mem_access_prot() that works without struct file. Neither
the architecture code or fbdev helpers need the parameter.

Patch 4 replaces fbdev's fb_pgprotect() with fb_pgprot_device() on
all architectures. The new helper with its stream-lined interface
enables more refactoring within fbdev's mmap implementation.
The content of this series is OK, but the way it's structured makes it a
real headache to merge, because it's mostly powerpc changes and then a
dependant cross architecture patch at the end.

It would be simpler if patch 4 was first and just passed file=NULL to
the powerpc helper, with an explanation that it's unused and will be
dropped in a future cleanup.

We could then put the first patch (previously patch 4) in a topic branch
that is shared between the powerpc tree and the fbdev tree, and then the
powerpc changes could be staged on top of that through the powerpc tree.

cheers

Ok, thanks for reviewing. The fbdev patch would go through the drm-misc 
tree as base for further refactoring.

I'll update the patchset accordingly.

Best regards
Thomas
