Pinning a buffer prevents it from being moved to a different memory location. For some operations, such as buffer updates, it is not important where the buffer is located. Setting the pin function's pl_flag argument to 0 will pin the buffer to whereever it is stored. v2: * document pin flags in PRIME pin helper Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190613073041.29350-2-tzimmermann@suse.de
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.
