Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

There's no reason for drivers to call this, and all the ones I've removed looked very fishy: - Proper quiescenting of the vblank machinery should be done by calling drm_crtc_vblank_off(), which is best done by shutting down the entire display engine with drm_atomic_helper_shutdown. - Releasing of allocated memory is done by the core already, it calls drm_vblank_cleanup as a fallback. - drm_vblank_cleanup also has checks for drivers which forget to clean up vblank interrupts. This essentially reverts commit e77cef9c Author: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jan 7 15:39:13 2010 +0100 drm: Avoid calling vblank function is vblank wasn't initialized which was done to fix a bug in radeon code with msi interrupts: commit 003e69f9 Author: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Date: Thu Jan 7 15:39:14 2010 +0100 drm/radeon/kms: Don't try to enable IRQ if we have no handler installed Afaict from digging around in old code, this was needed to avoid blowing up in the ums fallback, and has stopped serving it's purpose long ago - if irq init fails, the driver fails to load, and there's really no way to blow up anymore. Long story short, this was most likely a small ums compat/fallback hack that became a thing of it's own and got cargo-cult duplicated all over the drm codebase for essentially no gain at all. v2: Mention that for drivers with a ->release callback cleanup is handled by drm_dev_fini() (Thierry).
