[PATCH] drm/ttm: Remove the struct ttm_backup abstraction

Thomas Hellström thomas.hellstrom at linux.intel.com
Fri May 2 13:00:14 UTC 2025


The abstraction was previously added to support separate
ttm_backup implementations.

However with the current implementation casting from a
struct file to a struct ttm_backup, we run into trouble since
struct file may have randomized the layout and gcc complains.

Remove the struct ttm_backup abstraction
