udlfb: remove sysfs framebuffer device with USB .disconnect()

2012-04-02T16:27:11Z

commit ce880cb860f36694d2cdebfac9e6ae18176fe4c4 upstream. The USB graphics card driver delays the unregistering of the framebuffer device to a workqueue, which breaks the userspace visible remove uevent sequence. Recent userspace tools started to support USB graphics card hotplug out-of-the-box and rely on proper events sent by the kernel. The framebuffer device is a direct child of the USB interface which is removed immediately after the USB .disconnect() callback. But the fb device in /sys stays around until its final cleanup, at a time where all the parent devices have been removed already. To work around that, we remove the sysfs fb device directly in the USB .disconnect() callback and leave only the cleanup of the internal fb data to the delayed work. Before: add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 (usb) add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0 (usb) add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0/graphics/fb0 (graphics) remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0 (usb) remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 (usb) remove /2-1.2:1.0/graphics/fb0 (graphics) After: add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 (usb) add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0 (usb) add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0/graphics/fb1 (graphics) remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0/graphics/fb1 (graphics) remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0 (usb) remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2 (usb) Tested-by: Bernie Thompson Acked-by: Bernie Thompson Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Florian Tobias Schandinat Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

fbcon: add lifetime refcount to opened frame buffers

2011-05-12T14:37:51Z

This just adds the refcount and the new registration lock logic. It does not (for example) actually change the read/write/ioctl routines to actually use the frame buffer that was opened: those function still end up alway susing whatever the current frame buffer is at the time of the call. Without this, if something holds the frame buffer open over a framebuffer switch, the close() operation after the switch will access a fb_info that has been free'd by the unregistering of the old frame buffer. (The read/write/ioctl operations will normally not cause problems, because they will - illogically - pick up the new fbcon instead. But a switch that happens just as one of those is going on might see problems too, the window is just much smaller: one individual op rather than the whole open-close sequence.) This use-after-free is apparently fairly easily triggered by the Ubuntu 11.04 boot sequence.

fbcmap: integer overflow bug

2010-11-17T05:55:45Z

There is an integer overflow in fb_set_user_cmap() because cmap->len * 2 can wrap. It's basically harmless. Your terminal will be messed up until you type reset. This patch does three things to fix the bug. First, it checks the return value of fb_copy_cmap() in fb_alloc_cmap(). That is enough to fix address the overflow. Second it checks for the integer overflow in fb_set_user_cmap(). Lastly I wanted to cap "cmap->len" in fb_set_user_cmap() much lower because it gets used to determine the size of allocation. Unfortunately no one knows what the limit should be. Instead what this patch does is makes the allocation happen with GFP_KERNEL instead of GFP_ATOMIC and lets the kmalloc() decide what values of cmap->len are reasonable. To do this, the patch introduces a function called fb_alloc_cmap_gfp() which is like fb_alloc_cmap() except that it takes a GFP flag. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

fbdev: when parsing E-EDID blocks, also use SVD entries

2010-11-15T05:52:23Z

Add parsing of E-EDID SVD entries. In this first version only a few CEA/EIA-861E modes are implemented, more can be added as needed. Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

video: add fb_edid_add_monspecs for parsing extended edid information

2010-11-15T05:52:19Z

Modern monitors/tvs have more extended EDID information blocks which can contain extra detailed modes. This adds a fb_edid_add_monspecs function which drivers can use to parse those additions blocks. Signed-off-by: Erik Gilling Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

fbmem: fix fb_read, fb_write unaligned accesses

2010-10-28T01:03:08Z

fb_{read,write} access the framebuffer using lots of fb_{read,write}l's but don't check that the file position is aligned which can cause problems on some architectures which do not support unaligned accesses. Since the operations are essentially memcpy_{from,to}io, new fb_memcpy_{from,to}fb macros have been defined and these are used instead. For Sparc, fb_{read,write} macros use sbus_{read,write}, so this defines new sbus_memcpy_{from,to}io functions the same as memcpy_{from,to}io but using sbus_{read,write}b instead of {read,write}b.

vt/console: try harder to print output when panicing

2010-08-10T20:47:40Z

Jesse's initial patch commit said: "At panic time (i.e. when oops_in_progress is set) we should try a bit harder to update the screen and make sure output gets to the VT, since some drivers are capable of flipping back to it. So make sure we try to unblank and update the display if called from a panic context." I've enhanced this to add a flag to the vc that console layer can set to indicate they want this behaviour to occur. This also adds support to fbcon for that flag and adds an fb flag for drivers to indicate they want to use the support. It enables this for KMS drivers.
