Temporarily lock the fbdev buffer object during updates to prevent memory managers from evicting/moving the buffer. Moving a buffer object while update its content results in undefined behaviour. Fbdev-generic updates its buffer object from a shadow buffer. Gem-shmem and gem-dma helpers do not move buffer objects, so they are safe to be used with fbdev-generic. Gem-vram and qxl are based on TTM, but pin buffer objects are part of the vmap operation. So both are also safe to be used with fbdev-generic. Amdgpu and nouveau do not pin or lock the buffer object during an update. Their TTM-based memory management could move the buffer object while the update is ongoing. The new vmap_local and vunmap_local helpers hold the buffer object's reservation lock during the buffer update. This prevents moving the buffer object on all memory managers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
