With CONFIG_X86_SYSFB=y, probing real hw-drivers may result in
resource-conflicts and drivers will refuse to load. A call to
request_mem_region() will fail, if the region overlaps with the mem-region
used by simplefb. The common desktop DRM drivers (intel, nouveau, radeon)
are not affected as they don't reserve their resources, but some others
do, including (nvidiafb, cirrus, ..).
The problem is that we add an IORESOURCE_MEM to the simple-framebuffer
platform-device during bootup but never release it. Probing simplefb on
this platform-device is fine, but the handover to real-hw via
remove_conflicting_framebuffers() will only unload the fbdev driver, but
keep the platform-device around. Thus, if the real hw-driver calls
request_mem_region() and friends on the same PCI region, we will get a
resource conflict and most drivers refuse to load. Users will see
errors like:
"nvidiafb: cannot reserve video memory at <xyz>"
vesafb and efifb don't store any resources, so disabling CONFIG_X86_SYSFB
and falling back to those drivers will avoid the bug. With sysfb enabled,
we need to properly unload the simple-framebuffer devices before probing
real hw-drivers.
This patch adds sysfb_unregister() for that purpose. It can be called from
any context (except from the platform-device ->probe and ->remove callback
path), synchronously unloads any global sysfb and prevents new sysfbs from
getting registered. Thus, you can call it even before any sysfb has been
loaded. Note that for now we only do that for simple-framebuffer devices,
as efi/vesa-framebuffer platform-drivers lack ->remove() callbacks.
They're not affected by the resource-conflicts, so we can fix those later.
This also changes remove_conflicting_framebuffer() to call this helper
*before* trying its heuristic to remove conflicting drivers. This way, we
unload sysfbs properly on any conflict. But to avoid dead-locks in
register_framebuffer(), we must not call sysfb_unregister() for
framebuffers probing on sysfb devices. Hence, we simply remove any
aperture from simplefb and we're good to go. simplefb is unregistered by
sysfb_unregister() now, so no reason to keep the apertures (on non-x86,
there currently is no handover from simplefb, so we're fine. If it's
added, they need to provide something like sysfb_unregister() too)
