[PATCH v2 0/3] Fixes and cleanup for DRM fbdev emulation and deferred I/O

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

Hello,

This patch series contains two fixes and a cleanup for things that I noticed
while debugging a regression in the fbdev emulation for a DRM driver.

The first two patches are trivial and shoulnd't be controversial, the third
patch is less trivial, but it has been already reviewed by Thomas and I did
test it to make sure that works as expected. With it, I got rid of the WARN
that happened due a mutex used after it has been destroyed.

Best regards,
Javier

Changes in v2:
- Re-introduce the CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO ifdef guard for the @fbdefio field
  declaration since the kernel test robot reported that's needed at the end.

Javier Martinez Canillas (3):
  fbdev: Remove unused struct fb_deferred_io .first_io field
  drm/fb-helper: Check fb_deferred_io_init() return value
  drm/fb-helper: Use a per-driver FB deferred I/O handler

[PATCH v2 1/3] fbdev: Remove unused struct fb_deferred_io .first_io field

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

This optional callback was added in the commit 1f45f9dbb392 ("fb_defio:
add first_io callback") but it was never used by a driver. Let's remove
it since it's unlikely that will be used after a decade that was added.

[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/fb-helper: Check fb_deferred_io_init() return value

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The fb_deferred_io_init() can fail and return an errno code but currently
there is no check for its return value.

Fix that and propagate to errno to the caller in the case of a failure.

[PATCH v2 3/3] drm/fb-helper: Use a per-driver FB deferred I/O handler

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The DRM fbdev emulation layer sets the struct fb_info .fbdefio field to
a struct fb_deferred_io pointer, that is shared across all drivers that
use the generic drm_fbdev_generic_setup() helper function.

It is a problem because the fbdev core deferred I/O logic assumes that
the struct fb_deferred_io data is not shared between devices, and it's
stored there state such as the list of pages touched and a mutex that
is use to synchronize between the fb_deferred_io_track_page() function
that track the dirty pages and fb_deferred_io_work() workqueue handler
doing the actual deferred I/O.

The latter can lead to the following error, since it may happen that two
drivers are probed and then one is removed, which causes the mutex bo be
destroyed and not existing anymore by the time the other driver tries to
grab it for the fbdev deferred I/O logic:
