2011-09-02fb: avoid possible deadlock caused by fb_set_suspendHerton Ronaldo Krzesinski
A lock ordering issue can cause deadlocks: in framebuffer/console code, all needed struct fb_info locks are taken before acquire_console_sem(), in places which need to take console semaphore. But fb_set_suspend is always called with console semaphore held, and inside it we call lock_fb_info which gets the fb_info lock, inverse locking order of what the rest of the code does. This causes a real deadlock issue, when we write to state fb sysfs attribute (which calls fb_set_suspend) while a framebuffer is being unregistered by remove_conflicting_framebuffers, as can be shown by following show blocked state trace on a test program which loads i915 and runs another forked processes writing to state attribute: Test process with semaphore held and trying to get fb_info lock: .. fb-test2 D 0000000000000000 0 237 228 0x00000000 ffff8800774f3d68 0000000000000082 00000000000135c0 00000000000135c0 ffff880000000000 ffff8800774f3fd8 ffff8800774f3fd8 ffff880076ee4530 00000000000135c0 ffff8800774f3fd8 ffff8800774f2000 00000000000135c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8141287a>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x11a/0x1e0 [<ffffffff814142f2>] ? _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x22/0x40 [<ffffffff814123d3>] mutex_lock+0x23/0x50 [<ffffffff8125dfc5>] lock_fb_info+0x25/0x60 [<ffffffff8125e3f0>] fb_set_suspend+0x20/0x80 [<ffffffff81263e2f>] store_fbstate+0x4f/0x70 [<ffffffff812e7f70>] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x30 [<ffffffff811c46b4>] sysfs_write_file+0xd4/0x160 [<ffffffff81155a26>] vfs_write+0xc6/0x190 [<ffffffff81155d51>] sys_write+0x51/0x90 [<ffffffff8100c012>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b .. modprobe process stalled because has the fb_info lock (got inside unregister_framebuffer) but waiting for the semaphore held by the test process which is waiting to get the fb_info lock: .. modprobe D 0000000000000000 0 230 218 0x00000000 ffff880077a4d618 0000000000000082 0000000000000001 0000000000000001 ffff880000000000 ffff880077a4dfd8 ffff880077a4dfd8 ffff8800775a2e20 00000000000135c0 ffff880077a4dfd8 ffff880077a4c000 00000000000135c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81411fe5>] schedule_timeout+0x215/0x310 [<ffffffff81058051>] ? get_parent_ip+0x11/0x50 [<ffffffff814130dd>] __down+0x6d/0xb0 [<ffffffff81089f71>] down+0x41/0x50 [<ffffffff810629ac>] acquire_console_sem+0x2c/0x50 [<ffffffff812ca53d>] unbind_con_driver+0xad/0x2d0 [<ffffffff8126f5f7>] fbcon_event_notify+0x457/0x890 [<ffffffff814144ff>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x1f/0x50 [<ffffffff81058051>] ? get_parent_ip+0x11/0x50 [<ffffffff8141836d>] notifier_call_chain+0x4d/0x70 [<ffffffff8108a3b8>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x58/0x80 [<ffffffff8108a3f6>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff8125dabb>] fb_notifier_call_chain+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff8125e6ac>] unregister_framebuffer+0x7c/0x130 [<ffffffff8125e8b3>] remove_conflicting_framebuffers+0x153/0x180 [<ffffffff8125eef3>] register_framebuffer+0x93/0x2c0 [<ffffffffa0331112>] drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe+0x252/0x2f0 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffffffffa03314a3>] drm_fb_helper_initial_config+0x2f3/0x6d0 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffffffffa03318dd>] ? drm_fb_helper_single_add_all_connectors+0x5d/0x1c0 [drm_kms_helper] [<ffffffffa037b588>] intel_fbdev_init+0xa8/0x160 [i915] [<ffffffffa0343d74>] i915_driver_load+0x854/0x12b0 [i915] [<ffffffffa02f0e7e>] drm_get_pci_dev+0x19e/0x360 [drm] [<ffffffff8141821d>] ? sub_preempt_count+0x9d/0xd0 [<ffffffffa0386f91>] i915_pci_probe+0x15/0x17 [i915] [<ffffffff8124481f>] local_pci_probe+0x5f/0xd0 [<ffffffff81244f89>] pci_device_probe+0x119/0x120 [<ffffffff812eccaa>] ? driver_sysfs_add+0x7a/0xb0 [<ffffffff812ed003>] driver_probe_device+0xa3/0x290 [<ffffffff812ed1f0>] ? __driver_attach+0x0/0xb0 [<ffffffff812ed29b>] __driver_attach+0xab/0xb0 [<ffffffff812ed1f0>] ? __driver_attach+0x0/0xb0 [<ffffffff812ebd3e>] bus_for_each_dev+0x5e/0x90 [<ffffffff812ecc2e>] driver_attach+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff812ec6f2>] bus_add_driver+0xe2/0x320 [<ffffffffa03aa000>] ? i915_init+0x0/0x96 [i915] [<ffffffff812ed536>] driver_register+0x76/0x140 [<ffffffffa03aa000>] ? i915_init+0x0/0x96 [i915] [<ffffffff81245216>] __pci_register_driver+0x56/0xd0 [<ffffffffa02f1264>] drm_pci_init+0xe4/0xf0 [drm] [<ffffffffa03aa000>] ? i915_init+0x0/0x96 [i915] [<ffffffffa02e84a8>] drm_init+0x58/0x70 [drm] [<ffffffffa03aa094>] i915_init+0x94/0x96 [i915] [<ffffffff81002194>] do_one_initcall+0x44/0x190 [<ffffffff810a066b>] sys_init_module+0xcb/0x210 [<ffffffff8100c012>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b .. fb-test2 which reproduces above is available on kernel.org bug #26232.

So far, the only place which needs to call lock_fb_info is store_fbstate, all other places which calls fb_set_suspend are suspend/resume hooks that should not need the lock as they should be run only when processes are already frozen in suspend/resume.

2011-01-26console: rename acquire/release_console_sem() to console_lock/unlock()Torben Hohn
The -rt patches change the console_semaphore to console_mutex. As a result, a quite large chunk of the patches changes all acquire/release_console_sem() to acquire/release_console_mutex() This commit makes things use more neutral function names which dont make implications about the underlying lock. The only real change is the return value of console_trylock which is inverted from try_acquire_console_sem() This patch also paves the way to switching console_sem from a semaphore to a mutex.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

Console-specific attributes which where previously under class/graphics/fb[x] are moved to class/graphics/fbcon.

2006-03-27[PATCH] framebuffer: cmap-setting return valuesAlan Curry
A set of 3 small bugfixes, all of which are related to bogus return values of fb colormap-setting functions. First, fb_alloc_cmap returns -1 if memory allocation fails. This is a hard condition to reproduce since you'd have to be really low on memory, but from studying the contexts in which it is called, I think this function should be returning a negative errno, and the -1 will be seen as an EPERM. Switching it to -ENOMEM makes sense. Second, the store_cmap function which is called for writes to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/color_map returns 0 for success, but it should be returning the count of bytes written since its return value ends up in userspace as the result of the write() syscall. Third, radeonfb returns 1 instead of a negative errno when FBIOPUTCMAP is called with an oversized colormap. This is seen in userspace as a return value of 1 from the ioctl() syscall with errno left unchanged. A more useful return value would be -EINVAL.

2005-11-09[PATCH] fbcon: Console Rotation - Add ability to control rotation via sysfsAntonino A. Daplas
Add ability to set rotation via sysfs. The attributes are located in /sys/class/graphics/fb[n] and accepts 0 - unrotated; 1 - clockwise; 2 - upside down; 3 - counterclockwise. The attributes are: con_rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the active console con_rotate_all (w) - set rotation of all consoles rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the framebuffer, if supported. Currently, none of the drivers support this. This is probably temporary, since con_rotate and con_rotate_all are console-specific and has no business being under the fb device. However, until the console layer acquires it's own sysfs class, these attributes will temporarily reside here.

2005-07-27[PATCH] fbdev: colormap fixesJon Smirl
Color maps have up to 256 entries. 4096/256 allows for 16 characters per line. The format for a cmap entry is "%02x%c%4x%4x%4x\n" %02x entry %c transp %4x red %4x blue %4x green You can read the color_map with cat fb0/color_map.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
