Javier Martinez Canillas June 7, 2022, 6:23 p.m. UTC
The platform devices registered by sysfb match with firmware-based DRM or
fbdev drivers, that are used to have early graphics using a framebuffer
provided by the system firmware.

DRM or fbdev drivers later are probed and remove all conflicting framebuffers,
leading to these platform devices for generic drivers to be unregistered.

But the current solution has a race, since the sysfb_init() function could
be called after a DRM or fbdev driver is probed and request to unregister
the devices for drivers with conflicting framebuffes.

To prevent this, disable any future sysfb platform device registration by
calling sysfb_disable(), if a driver requests to remove the conflicting
framebuffers.

Changes in v6:
- Move the sysfb_disable() before the remove conflicting framebuffers
  loop (Daniel Vetter).

Changes in v5:
- Move the sysfb_disable() call at conflicting framebuffers again to
  avoid the need of a DRIVER_FIRMWARE capability flag.
- Add Daniel Vetter's Reviewed-by tag again since reverted to the old
  patch that he already reviewed in v2.

Changes in v3:
- Call sysfb_disable() when a DRM dev and a fbdev are registered rather
  than when conflicting framebuffers are removed (Thomas Zimmermann).
- Call sysfb_disable() when a fbdev framebuffer is registered rather
  than when conflicting framebuffers are removed (Thomas Zimmermann).
- Drop Daniel Vetter's Reviewed-by tag since patch changed a lot.

Changes in v2:
- Explain in the commit message that fbmem has to unregister the device
  as fallback if a driver registered the device itself (Daniel Vetter).
- Also explain that fallback in a comment in the code (Daniel Vetter).
- Don't encode in fbmem the assumption that sysfb will always register
  platform devices (Daniel Vetter).
- Add a FIXME comment about drivers registering devices (Daniel Vetter).

Hi, Javier.

This change broke arm64 with vmwgfx. We get a kernel oops at boot (let me know if
you'd like .config or just have us test something directly for you):

Yes please share your .config and I'll try to reproduce on an arm64 machine.

I'm confused, your kernel version seems to be 5.18.0-rc5 but this patch
is only in drm-misc-next now and will land in 5.20...

Did you backport it? Can you please try to reproduce with latest drm-tip ?

Attached. It might be a little hard to reproduce unless you have an arm64 machine
with a dedicated gpu. You'll need a system that actually transitions from a generic
fb driver (e.g. efifb) to the dedicated one.

No, this is drm-misc-next as of yesterday. drm-misc-next was still on 5.18.0-rc5
yesterday.

Yes, all my testing for this was done with a rpi4 so I should be able to reproduce
that case. I'm confused though because I tested efifb -> vc4, simplefb -> vc4 and
simpledrm -> vc4.

Right! I looked at the base for drm-tip but forgot that drm-misc was still on 5.18.

I'll look at this tomorrow but in the meantime, could you please look if the following
commits on top of drm-misc-next help ?

d258d00fb9c7 fbdev: efifb: Cleanup fb_info in .fb_destroy rather than .remove

Scratch that. I see in your config now that you are not using efifb but instead
simpledrm: CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM=y, CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y and CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX.

Since you mentioned efifb I misunderstood that you are using it. Anyways, as
said I'll investigate this tomorrow.

Sounds good. Let me know if you'd like me to try it without SIMPLEFB.

Yes, please do. Either with CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB disabled and CONFIG_FB_EFI
enabled (so that "efi-framebuffer" is registered and efifb probed) or with
CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB but CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE enabled (so "simple-framebuffer
is used too but with simplefb instead of simpledrm).
 
I'm not able to reproduce, it would be useful to have another data point.

Also happening for me with CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB, on a Intel Core i7-
1065G7 (with iGPU).

Reverting this commit on top of 5.19-rc5 "fixes" the issue.

Yes, we need to also cherry-pick b84efa28a48 ("drm/aperture: Run fbdev
removal before internal helpers") now that the sysfb_disable() patches
are in v5.19-rc5.

I confirm that cherry-picking b84efa28a48 fixes the issue for v5.19-rc5.

Thanks for testing it! Thomas is getting that patch through the drm-fixes
path, so it should make it to the v5.19-rc cycle at some point.
