[PATCH 0/5] sysfb: Fix memory-region management

[PATCH 0/5] sysfb: Fix memory-region management

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Request framebuffer memory in simpledrm and simplefb. Do a hot-unplug
operation when removing fbdev firmware drivers.

After being unloaded by a hardware driver, simplefb leaves behind the
firmware framebuffer's platform device. This prevents other drivers
from acquiring the memory as reported at [1].

Patch 1 changes the removal code of remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
to remove the underlying device and the rsp memory region.

Patches 2 to 4 update sysfb and its drivers. The sysfb code does no
longer mark the framebuffer memory with IORESOURCE_BUSY. Instead, the
device drivers acquire the memory when they probe the device.

Patch 5 adds a todo item to acquire memory regions in all DRM drivers.

Tested with simpledrm and simplefb.

[PATCH 1/5] fbdev: Hot-unplug firmware fb devices on forced removal

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Hot-unplug all firmware-framebuffer devices as part of removing
them via remove_conflicting_framebuffers() et al. Releases all
memory regions to be acquired by native drivers.

Firmware, such as EFI, install a framebuffer while posting the
computer. After removing the firmware-framebuffer device from fbdev,
a native driver takes over the hardware and the firmware framebuffer
becomes invalid.

Firmware-framebuffer drivers, specifically simplefb, don't release
their device from Linux' device hierarchy. It still owns the firmware
framebuffer and blocks the native drivers from loading. This has been
observed in the vmwgfx driver. [1]

Initiating a device removal (i.e., hot unplug) as part of
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() removes the underlying device and
returns the memory range to the system.

In do_register_framebuffer() creating the fb%d is not a fatal error. It would
be safer to do if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(dev) && dev_is_platform(dev)) instead here.

I'm not sure to follow the logic here. The forced_out bool is set when the
platform device is unregistered in do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(),
but shouldn't the struct platform_driver .remove callback be executed even
in this case ?

That is, the platform_device_unregister() will trigger the call to the
.remove callback that in turn will call unregister_framebuffer().

Shouldn't we always hold the mutex when calling do_unregister_framebuffer() ?

Scratch that, I got it now. That's exactly the reason why you skip the
mutext_lock(). After adding the check for dev, feel free to add:

Scratch that, I got it now. That's exactly the reason why you skip the

Doing the hot-unplug will end up in unregister_framebuffer(), but we 
already hold the lock from the do_remove_conflicting_framebuffer() code.

oh, indeed. I conflated the two.

Maybe the local variable could be renamed to 'device' just to avoid confusion ?

From: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com>

The sysfb_create_simplefb() function requests a IO memory resource for the

Let's drop the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag and let drivers to request it as busy

if mem is NULL, accessing mem->start will segfault after the warning.
I think you renamed "mem" to "res" so probably it should be renamed here 
too ?

Thanks for reviewing. Will be fixed in the next version. That code used 
to fail and i changed it to a warning after sync'ing with the simplefb 
driver. :/

Maybe instead you could have:

	struct resource *mem; 

that would be more consistent with the fields for the other
resources like clocks, regulators, etc.

[PATCH 0/5] sysfb: Fix memory-region management

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Request framebuffer memory in simpledrm and simplefb. Do a hot-unplug
operation when removing fbdev firmware drivers.

After being unloaded by a hardware driver, simplefb leaves behind the
firmware framebuffer's platform device. This prevents other drivers
from acquiring the memory as reported at [1].

Patch 1 changes the removal code of remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
to remove the underlying device and the rsp memory region.

Patches 2 to 4 update sysfb and its drivers. The sysfb code does no
longer mark the framebuffer memory with IORESOURCE_BUSY. Instead, the
device drivers acquire the memory when they probe the device.

Patch 5 adds a todo item to acquire memory regions in all DRM drivers.

Tested with simpledrm and simplefb.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20220117180359.18114-1-zack@kde.org/

v2:
	* fix possible NULL deref in simpledrm (Jocelyn)
	* various style fixes (Javier)

  drivers/firmware: Don't mark as busy the simple-framebuffer IO
    resource

Thanks a lot for updating the patch. Now this logic is also more
similar to the changes done for the simpledrm driver in PATCH 3/5.
