[PATCH v2 5/9] drm/ast: Pin framebuffer BO during dirty update

Thomas Zimmermann tzimmermann at suse.de
Tue Jun 11 13:03:40 UTC 2019


Another explicit lock operation of a GEM VRAM BO is located in AST's
framebuffer update code. Instead of locking the BO, we pin it to wherever
it is.

v2:
	* update with pin flag of 0
