The DRM fbdev emulation layer does not support pushing back
changes to fb_var_screeninfo to KMS.

However, drm_fb_helper still implements the fb_ops.fb_check_var() and
fb_ops.fb_set_par() callbacks, but the former fails to validate various
parameters passed from userspace.  Hence unsanitized and possible
invaled values are passed up through the fbdev, fbcon, and console
stack, which has become an endless source of security issues reported
against fbdev.

Fix this by not populating the fb_ops.fb_check_var() and
fb_ops.fb_set_par() callbacks, as there is no point in providing them if
the frame buffer config cannot be changed anyway.  This makes the fbdev
core aware that making changes to the frame buffer config is not
supported, so it will always return the current config.

The only remaining DRM driver that implements fb_ops.fb_check_var() is
also broken, as it fails to validate various parameters passed from
userspace.  So vmw_fb_check_var() should either be fixed, or removed.

It's unfortunate that DRM currently isn't able to switch resolutions
at runtime.

With that in mind I agree with Geert that it's probably better to
disable (or drop) that code until DRM can cope with fbdev's
interface to switch resolutions.

Furthermore, with the upcoming patches to fbcon (which prevents crashes on
invalid userspace input), you will face a kernel WARNING if you call fbset
to switch screen resolutions with DRM drivers.

So, from my side (although I'd prefer a better fix for DRM):

So maybe I'm missing something, but I think this breaks a lot of stuff.
The issue is that fbdev is only a subordinate owner of the kms device, if
there's a real drm kms owner around that wins.

Which means when you switch back then set_par needs to restore the fbdev
framebuffer. So that might break some recovery/use-cases.

The other thing is that I think this also breaks the scanout offset, and
people do use that for double-buffering on top of fbdev on top of drm
drivers. So we can't just nuke it completely.

For better or worse I think we need to keep playing the whack-a-mole game.
Or do I miss something here?

Upon closer look, I think I was a bit too over-eager, and we can keep
the implementation of fb_ops.fb_set_par().

You mean panning? That does not need fb_ops.fb_check_var(), as it
should be done through fb_ops.fb_pan_display().

With the above fixed, we can continue whacking the drm bugs in
implementing the fbdev API?
