I observed that the performance of the udl fb driver degrades over time.
On a freshly booted machine, it takes 6 seconds to do "ls -la /usr/bin";
after some time of use, the same operation takes 14 seconds.
The reason is that the value of "limit_sem" decays over time.
The udl driver uses a semaphore "limit_set" to specify how many free urbs
are there on dlfb->urbs.list. If the count is zero, the "down" operation
will sleep until some urbs are added to the freelist.
In order to avoid some hypothetical deadlock, the driver will not call
"up" immediately, but it will offload it to a workqueue. The problem is
that if we call "schedule_delayed_work" on the same work item multiple
times, the work item may only be executed once.
This is happening:
* some urb completes
* dlfb_urb_completion adds it to the free list
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work to schedule the function
dlfb_release_urb_work to increase the semaphore count
* as the urb is on the free list, some other task grabs it and submits it
* the submitted urb completes, dlfb_urb_completion is called again
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work, but the work is already
scheduled, so it does nothing
* finally, dlfb_release_urb_work is called, it increases the semaphore
count by 1, although it should increase it by 2
So, the semaphore count is decreasing over time, and this causes gradual
performance degradation.
Note that in the current kernel, the "up" function may be called from
interrupt and it may race with the "down" function called by another
thread, so we don't have to offload the call of "up" to a workqueue at
all. This patch removes the workqueue code. The patch also changes
"down_interruptible" to "down" in dlfb_free_urb_list, so that we will
clean up the driver properly even if a signal arrives.
With this patch, the performance of udlfb no longer degrades.

I have a USB display adapter using the udlfb driver and I use it on an ARM
board that doesn't have any graphics card. When I plug the adapter in, the
console is properly displayed, however when I unplug and re-plug the
adapter, the console is not displayed and I can't access it until I reboot
the board.
The reason is this:
When the adapter is unplugged, dlfb_usb_disconnect calls
unlink_framebuffer, then it waits until the reference count drops to zero
and then it deallocates the framebuffer. However, the console that is
attached to the framebuffer device keeps the reference count non-zero, so
the framebuffer device is never destroyed. When the USB adapter is plugged
again, it creates a new device /dev/fb1 and the console is not attached to
it.
This patch fixes the bug by unbinding the console from unlink_framebuffer.
The code to unbind the console is moved from do_unregister_framebuffer to
a function unbind_console. When the console is unbound, the reference
count drops to zero and the udlfb driver frees the framebuffer. When the
adapter is plugged back, a new framebuffer is created and the console is
attached to it.

but instead fails with a cryptic error message like:
ERROR: "omapfb_register_panel" [drivers/video/fbdev/omap/lcd_osk.ko] undefined!
This can now happen when building a randconfig kernel with CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP1,
as the omap1 fbdev driver depends on that, whiel the omap2 fbdev driver can
now be built anywhere with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST.
The solution is to rename one of the two modules, so for consistency with

It's been a pretty good while since kernel modesetting was introduced.
It has almost entirely replaced previous solutions which required
userspace modesetting, and I can't even recall any drivers off the top
of my head for modern day hardware that don't only support one or the
other. Even nvidia's ugly blob does not require the use of nomodeset,
and only requires that nouveau be blacklisted.
Effectively, the only thing nomodeset does in the year 2018 is disable
your graphics drivers. Since VESA is a thing, this will give many users
the false impression that they've actually fixed an issue they were
having with their machine simply because the laptop will boot up to a
degraded GUI. This of course, is never actually the case.
Things get even worse when you consider that there's still an enormous
amount of tutorials users find on the internet that still suggest adding
nomodeset, along with various users who have been around long enough to
still suggest it.
There really isn't any legitimate reason I can see for this to be an
option that's used by anyone else other then developers, or properly
informed users. So, let's end the confusion and start printing warnings
whenever it's enabled.

I discovered the problem when developing a frame buffer driver for the
PlayStation 2 (not yet merged), using the following video modes for the
PlayStation 3 in drivers/video/fbdev/ps3fb.c:
}, {
/* 1080if */
"1080if", 50, 1920, 1080, 13468, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5,
FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_INTERLACED
}, {
/* 1080pf */
"1080pf", 50, 1920, 1080, 6734, 148, 484, 36, 4, 88, 5,
FB_SYNC_BROADCAST, FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED
},
In ps3fb_probe, the mode_option module parameter is used with fb_find_mode
but it can only select the interlaced variant of 1920x1080 since the loop
matching the modes does not take the difference between interlaced and
progressive modes into account.
In short, without the patch, progressive 1920x1080 cannot be chosen as a
mode_option parameter since fb_find_mode (falsely) thinks interlace is a
perfect match.

If the framebuffer address provided by the Graphics Output Protocol
(GOP) is covered by the UEFI memory map, it will tell us which memory
attributes are permitted when mapping this region. In some cases,
(KVM guest on ARM), violating this will result in loss of coherency,
which means that updates sent to the framebuffer by the guest will
not be observeable by the host, and the emulated display simply does
not work.
So if the memory map contains such a description, take the attributes
field into account, and add support for creating WT or WB mappings of
the framebuffer region.

When you want to change the brightness using a PWM signal, one thing you
need to consider is how human perceive the brightness. Human perceive
the brightness change non-linearly, we have better sensitivity at low
luminance than high luminance, so to achieve perceived linear dimming,
the brightness must be matches to the way our eyes behave. The CIE 1931
lightness formula is what actually describes how we perceive light.
This patch computes a default table with the brightness levels filled
with the numbers provided by the CIE 1931 algorithm, the number of the
brightness levels is calculated based on the PWM resolution.
The calculation of the table using the CIE 1931 algorithm is enabled by
default when you do not define the 'brightness-levels' propriety in your
device tree.

Setting num-interpolated-steps in the dts will allow you to have linear
interpolation between values of brightness-levels. This way a high
resolution pwm duty cycle can be used without having to list out every
possible value in the dts. This system also allows for gamma corrected
values.
The most simple example is interpolate between two brightness values a
number of steps, this can be done setting the following in the dts:
brightness-levels = <0 65535>;
num-interpolated-steps = <1024>;
default-brightness-level = <512>;
This will create a brightness-level table with the following values:
<0 63 126 189 252 315 378 441 ... 64260 64323 64386 64449 65535>
Another use case can be describe a gamma corrected curve, as we have
better sensitivity at low luminance than high luminance we probably
want have smaller steps for low brightness levels values and bigger
steps for high brightness levels values. This can be achieved with
the following in the dts:
brightness-levels = <0 4096 65535>;
num-interpolated-steps = <1024>;
default-brightness-level = <512>;
This will create a brightness-levels table with the following values:
<0 4 8 12 16 20 ... 4096 4156 4216 4276 ... 65535>

Currently fbcon claims fbdevs as soon as they are registered and takes over
the console as soon as the first fbdev gets registered.
This behavior is undesirable in cases where a smooth graphical bootup is
desired, in such cases we typically want the contents of the framebuffer
(typically a vendor logo) to stay in place as is.
The current solution for this problem (on embedded systems) is to not
enable fbcon.
This commit adds a new FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER config option,
which when enabled defers fbcon taking over the console from the dummy
console until the first text is displayed on the console. Together with the
"quiet" kernel commandline option, this allows fbcon to still be used
together with a smooth graphical bootup, having it take over the console as
soon as e.g. an error message is logged.
Note the choice to detect the first console output in the dummycon driver,
rather then handling this entirely inside the fbcon code, was made after
2 failed attempts to handle this entirely inside the fbcon code. The fbcon
code is woven quite tightly into the console code, making this to only
feasible option.

cmap->len can get close to INT_MAX/2, allowing for an integer overflow in
allocation. This uses kmalloc_array() instead to catch the condition.

Two framebuffer device-node names were looked up during probe, but were
only used as flags to indicate the presence of two framebuffer device.
Drop the unused framebuffer name along with a likewise unused device
pointer from the driver data, and update the platform data to pass in
booleans instead of the framebuffer strings. This allows us do drop the
node references acquired during probe, which would otherwise leak.
Note that there are no other in-kernel users of the modified
platform-data fields.
