If the console is unlocked during registration, the console subsystem generates significant amounts of warnings, which obfuscate actual debugging messages. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning while debugging console registration avoid the noise. v3: - manipulate ignore_console_lock_warning with atomic_{inc,dec} v2: - restore ignore_console_lock_warning if lock_fb_info() fails Signed-off-by:Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Acked-by:

The macro WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED prints a warning when a thread enters the console's critical section without having acquired the console lock. The console lock can be ignored when debugging the console using printk, but this makes WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED generate unnecessary warnings. The variable ignore_console_lock_warning temporarily disables WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED. Developers interested in debugging the console's critical sections should increment it before entering the CS and decrement it after leaving the CS. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning is only for debugging. Regular operation should not manipulate it. Acknoledgements: This patch is based on an earlier version by Steven Rostedt. The use of atomic increment/decrement was suggested by Petr Mladek. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/717e6337-e7a6-7a92-1c1b-8929a25696b5@suse.de Signed-off-by:

spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock_irqrestore is inteded to be called from a context where it is unknown if interrupts are enabled or disabled (such as interrupt handlers). From a process context, we should call spin_lock_irq and spin_unlock_irq, that avoids the costly pushf and popf instructions. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the udlfb driver only tests for identical bytes at the beginning or at the end of a page and renders anything between the first and last mismatching pixel. But pages are not the same as lines, so this is quite suboptimal - if there is something modified at the beginning of a page and at the end of a page, the whole page is rendered, even if most of the page is not modified. This patch makes it test for identical pixels at the beginning and end of each rendering command. This patch improves identical byte detection by 41% when playing video in a window. This patch also fixes a possible screen corruption if the user is writing to the framebuffer while dlfb_render_hline is in progress - the pixel data that is copied to the backbuffer with memcpy may be different from the pixel data that is actually rendered to the hardware (because the content of the framebuffer may change between memcpy and the rendering command). We must make sure that we copy exactly the same pixel as the pixel that is being rendered. Signed-off-by:

This patch changes udlfb so that it may reallocate the framebuffer when setting higher-resolution mode. If we boot the system without monitor attached, udlfb creates a framebuffer with the size 800x600. This patch makes it possible to select higher videomode with the fbset command when a monitor is attached. Note that there is no reliable way to prevent the system from touching the old framebuffer, so we must not free it. We add it to the list dlfb->deferred_free and free it when the driver is unloaded.

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.

The defio subsystem overwrites the method fb_osp->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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

The displaylink hardware has such a peculiarity that it doesn't render a command until next command is received. This produces occasional corruption, such as when setting 22x11 font on the console, only the first line of the cursor will be blinking if the cursor is located at some specific columns. When we end up with a repeating pixel, the driver has a bug that it leaves one uninitialized byte after the command (and this byte is enough to flush the command and render it - thus it fixes the screen corruption), however whe we end up with a non-repeating pixel, there is no byte appended and this results in temporary screen corruption. This patch fixes the screen corruption by always appending a byte 0xAF at the end of URB. It also removes the uninitialized byte. Signed-off-by:

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->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. Signed-off-by:

I have a USB display adapter using the udlfb driver and I use it on an ARM board that doesn't have any graphics card. When I plug the adapter in, the console is properly displayed, however when I unplug and re-plug the adapter, the console is not displayed and I can't access it until I reboot the board. The reason is this: When the adapter is unplugged, dlfb_usb_disconnect calls unlink_framebuffer, then it waits until the reference count drops to zero and then it deallocates the framebuffer. However, the console that is attached to the framebuffer device keeps the reference count non-zero, so the framebuffer device is never destroyed. When the USB adapter is plugged again, it creates a new device /dev/fb1 and the console is not attached to it. This patch fixes the bug by unbinding the console from unlink_framebuffer. The code to unbind the console is moved from do_unregister_framebuffer to a function unbind_console. When the console is unbound, the reference count drops to zero and the udlfb driver frees the framebuffer. When the adapter is plugged back, a new framebuffer is created and the console is attached to it. Signed-off-by:

On x86 some firmwares use a low non native resolution for the display when they have shown some text messages. While keeping the bgrt filled with info for the native resolution. If the bgrt image intended for the native resolution still fits, it will be displayed very close to the right edge of the display looking quite bad. This commits adds a (heuristics based) checks for this and makes efifb not show the boot graphics when this is the case. Signed-off-by:

In a kernel configuration with both CONFIG_FB_OMAP=m and CONFIG_FB_OMAP2=m, Kbuild fails to point out that we have two modules with the same name (omapfb.ko), but instead fails with a cryptic error message like: ERROR: "omapfb_register_panel" [drivers/video/fbdev/omap/lcd_osk.ko] undefined! This can now happen when building a randconfig kernel with CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP1, as the omap1 fbdev driver depends on that, whiel the omap2 fbdev driver can now be built anywhere with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST. The solution is to rename one of the two modules, so for consistency with the directory naming I decided to rename the omap2 version to omap2fb.ko.

It's been a pretty good while since kernel modesetting was introduced. It has almost entirely replaced previous solutions which required userspace modesetting, and I can't even recall any drivers off the top of my head for modern day hardware that don't only support one or the other. Even nvidia's ugly blob does not require the use of nomodeset, and only requires that nouveau be blacklisted. Effectively, the only thing nomodeset does in the year 2018 is disable your graphics drivers. Since VESA is a thing, this will give many users the false impression that they've actually fixed an issue they were having with their machine simply because the laptop will boot up to a degraded GUI. This of course, is never actually the case. Things get even worse when you consider that there's still an enormous amount of tutorials users find on the internet that still suggest adding nomodeset, along with various users who have been around long enough to still suggest it. There really isn't any legitimate reason I can see for this to be an option that's used by anyone else other then developers, or properly informed users. So, let's end the confusion and start printing warnings whenever it's enabled. Signed-off-by:

I discovered the problem when developing a frame buffer driver for the PlayStation 2 (not yet merged), using the following video modes for the PlayStation 3 in drivers/video/fbdev/ps3fb.c: }, { /* 1080if */ "1080if", 50, 1920, 1080, 13468, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5, FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_INTERLACED }, { /* 1080pf */ "1080pf", 50, 1920, 1080, 6734, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5, FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED }, In ps3fb_probe, the mode_option module parameter is used with fb_find_mode but it can only select the interlaced variant of 1920x1080 since the loop matching the modes does not take the difference between interlaced and progressive modes into account. In short, without the patch, progressive 1920x1080 cannot be chosen as a mode_option parameter since fb_find_mode (falsely) thinks interlace is a perfect match.

On systems where fbcon is configured for deferred console takeover, the intend is for the framebuffer to show the boot graphics (e.g a vendor logo) until some message (e.g. an error) is printed or a graphical session takes over.
