From 5e841b88d23d0ea0a6ee4e76c489899d4d23ce25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mundt Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:37:41 -0700 Subject: fb: fsync() method for deferred I/O flush. There are cases when we do not want to wait on the delay for automatically updating the "real" framebuffer, this implements a simple ->fsync() hook for explicitly flushing the deferred I/O work. The ->page_mkwrite() handler will rearm the work queue normally.
