Subject: [PATCH v2] video: hyperv: hyperv_fb: refresh the VM screen by force on VM panic
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 14:35:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1403818501-15547-1-git-send-email-decui@microsoft.com> (raw)
Currently the VSC has no chance to notify the VSP of the dirty rectangle on VM
panic because the notification work is done in a workqueue, and in panic() the
kernel typically ends up in an infinite loop, and a typical kernel config has
CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y and CONFIG_PREEMPT is not set, so a context switch
can't happen in panic() and the workqueue won't have a chance to run. As a
result, the VM Connection window can't refresh until it's closed and we
re-connect to the VM.
We can register a handler on panic_notifier_list: the handler can notify
the VSC and switch the framebuffer driver to a "synchronous mode", meaning
the VSC flushes any future framebuffer change to the VSP immediately.
v2: removed the MS-TFS line in the commit message
