From 8cb88915f05f46f32b3f39285391cc8bcd31a7e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Phil Elwell Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2023 09:49:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 0430/1002] fbdev: Don't cancel deferred work if pagelist empty Since [1], the fbdev deferred IO framework is careful to cancel pending updates on close to prevent dirty pages being accessed after they may have been reused. However, this is not necessary in the case that the pagelist is empty, and drivers that don't make use of the pagelist may have wanted updates cancelled for no good reason. Avoid penalising fbdev drivers that don't make use of the pagelist by making the cancelling of deferred IO on close conditional on there being a non-empty pagelist.
