commit 2c29cfc3eaf11779176bf41475cfca49bccba11c upstream.

The defio subsystem overwrites the method fb_osp-&gt;mmap. That method is
stored in module's static data - and that means that if we have multiple
diplaylink adapters, they will over write each other's method.

In order to avoid interference between multiple adapters, we copy the
fb_ops structure to a device-local memory.

<title>udlfb: set optimal write delay</title>

commit bb24153a3f13dd0dbc1f8055ad97fe346d598f66 upstream.

The default delay 5 jiffies is too much when the kernel is compiled with
HZ=100 - it results in jumpy cursor in Xwindow.

In order to find out the optimal delay, I benchmarked the driver on
1280x720x30fps video. I found out that with HZ=1000, 10ms is acceptable,
but with HZ=250 or HZ=300, we need 4ms, so that the video is played
without any frame skips.

This patch changes the delay to this value.

<title>udlfb: don't switch if we are switching to the same videomode</title>

commit 564f1807379298dfdb12ed0d5b25fcb89c238527 upstream.

The udlfb driver reprograms the hardware everytime the user switches the
console, that makes quite unusable when working on the console.

This patch makes the driver remember the videomode we are in and avoid
reprogramming the hardware if we switch to the same videomode.

We mask the "activate" field and the "FB_VMODE_SMOOTH_XPAN" flag when
comparing the videomode, because they cause spurious switches when
switching to and from the Xserver.

<title>udlfb: fix semaphore value leak</title>

<id>urn:sha1:27f6b46dd248ce35f264e85ef97ea152eb6004d6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9d0aa601e4cd9c0892f90d36e8488d79b72f4073 upstream.

I observed that the performance of the udl fb driver degrades over time.
On a freshly booted machine, it takes 6 seconds to do "ls -la /usr/bin";
after some time of use, the same operation takes 14 seconds.

The reason is that the value of "limit_sem" decays over time.

The udl driver uses a semaphore "limit_set" to specify how many free urbs
are there on dlfb-&gt;urbs.list. If the count is zero, the "down" operation
will sleep until some urbs are added to the freelist.

In order to avoid some hypothetical deadlock, the driver will not call
"up" immediately, but it will offload it to a workqueue. The problem is
that if we call "schedule_delayed_work" on the same work item multiple
times, the work item may only be executed once.

This is happening:
* some urb completes
* dlfb_urb_completion adds it to the free list
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work to schedule the function
  dlfb_release_urb_work to increase the semaphore count
* as the urb is on the free list, some other task grabs it and submits it
* the submitted urb completes, dlfb_urb_completion is called again
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work, but the work is already
  scheduled, so it does nothing
* finally, dlfb_release_urb_work is called, it increases the semaphore
  count by 1, although it should increase it by 2

So, the semaphore count is decreasing over time, and this causes gradual
performance degradation.

Note that in the current kernel, the "up" function may be called from
interrupt and it may race with the "down" function called by another
thread, so we don't have to offload the call of "up" to a workqueue at
all. This patch removes the workqueue code. The patch also changes
"down_interruptible" to "down" in dlfb_free_urb_list, so that we will
clean up the driver properly even if a signal arrives.

With this patch, the performance of udlfb no longer degrades.

auo_k1900fb and auo_k1901fb drivers have been introduced six
years ago by following commits:

commit 2c8304d3125b ("video: auo_k190x: add code shared by controller drivers")
commit 96b1d500e028 ("video: auo_k190x: add driver for AUO-K1900 variant")
commit 53027cdf2a67 ("video: auo_k190x: add driver for AUO-K1901 variant")

They never had any in-kernel user so just remove them (since
they are platform drivers they need corresponding platform
devices to be registered by kernel and it has never happened).

Add stubs for omapfb_dss.h, in the case it is included by
some driver when CONFIG_FB_OMAP2 is not defined, with can
happen on ARM when DRM_OMAP is not 'n'.

That allows building such driver(s) with COMPILE_TEST.
