This patchset explores the possibility of having generic fbdev emulation in DRM for drivers that supports dumb buffers which they can export. The change this time is that I have tried to do an in-kernel client API. The intention was to have callbacks on the drm_file, but I gave up on that mainly because I have to take a ref on the driver module since drm_driver->postclose is called in drm_file_free(). This blocks DRM driver module unload. Another reason is that the callback signalling new drm_devices would have to be out-of-band so I put all the callbacks together. The patchset includes 3 different clients that I have done to see how it is to use the API: - fbdev - bootsplash - VT console There is still work left to be done, but it would be nice to get some feedback about the direction I have taken. For readers I suggest to first look at the bootsplash client to see the API in use. The client is very simple so it's an easy read. Noralf. Changes since version 2: - Don't set drm master for in-kernel clients. (Daniel Vetter) - Add in-kernel client API Changes since version 1: - Don't add drm_fb_helper_fb_open() and drm_fb_helper_fb_release() to DRM_FB_HELPER_DEFAULT_OPS(). (Fi.CI.STATIC) The following uses that macro and sets fb_open/close: udlfb_ops, amdgpufb_ops, drm_fb_helper_generic_fbdev_ops, nouveau_fbcon_ops, nouveau_fbcon_sw_ops, radeonfb_ops. This results in: warning: Initializer entry defined twice - Support CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m (kbuild test robot) ERROR: <function> [drivers/gpu/drm/drm_kms_helper.ko] undefined! - Drop buggy patch: (Chris Wilson) drm/prime: Clear drm_gem_object->dma_buf on release - Defer buffer creation until fb_open.
