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

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
