Subject: Re: [PATCH] fbdev: fix incorrect address computation in deferred IO
Hi,
thanks for following through with the bug and sending the patch

Please tone down the drama. :)

The page-fault handler at [1] use vm_fault.pgoff to retrieve the page
structure. Can we do the same here and avoid that computation?
