Now that flush/wait/complete is decoupled from the "synchronous" part of
atomic commit_tail(), add support to defer flush to a timer that expires
shortly before vblank for async commits. In this way, multiple atomic
commits (for example, cursor updates) can be coalesced into a single
flush at the end of the frame.
v2: don't hold lock over ->wait_flush(), to avoid locking interaction
that was causing fps drop when combining page flips or non-async
atomic commits and lots of legacy cursor updates

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.
