staging: vme_user: replace deprecated mmap hook with mmap_prepare

2026-04-05T20:53:44+00:00

The f_op->mmap interface is deprecated, so update driver to use its successor, mmap_prepare. The driver previously used vm_iomap_memory(), so this change replaces it with its mmap_prepare equivalent, mmap_action_simple_ioremap(). Functions that wrap mmap() are also converted to wrap mmap_prepare() instead. Also update the documentation accordingly.

vme: move back to staging

2022-06-10T13:38:14+00:00

The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in 2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging") stating: The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully. However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups. No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only remaining board. drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original hierarchy.

docs: Update VME documentation to include kerneldoc comments

2017-03-17T06:10:49+00:00

Update VME documentation given that kerneldoc comments are now provided. Add "VME API" section to VME RST to pull in kerneldoc comments. Signed-off-by: Martyn Welch Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

vme: Convert documentation to reStructuredText, move under driver APIs

2016-10-21T21:20:08+00:00

Perform a relatively simple conversion of vme_api.txt to reStructuredText and move under driver-api, which seems the most logical place for this documentation. Signed-off-by: Martyn Welch Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet
