Any progress on this? Considering that fb_defio is utterly broken without the fix (writing the frame buffer makes the VM endlessly invoke vm_ops.page_mkwrite()), wouldn't it make sense to merge the fix even if it still has issues?

I see it in mmotm http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/fbdev-defio-and-metronomefb-v4.patch Thanks, jaya ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
