Commit ccf953d8f3d6 makes framebuffers which use deferred I/O stop
displaying updates after the first one.  This is because the pages
handled by fb_defio no longer have a page_mapping().  That prevents
page_mkclean() from marking the PTEs as clean, and so writes are only
noticed the first time.

<title>video: hgafb: correctly handle card detect failure during probe</title>

The return value of hga_card_detect() is not properly handled causing
the probe to succeed even though hga_card_detect() failed. Since probe
succeeds, hgafb_open() can be called which will end up operating on an
unmapped hga_vram. This results in an out-of-bounds access as reported
by kernel test robot [1].

To fix this, correctly detect failure of hga_card_detect() by checking
for a non-zero error code.

Merge VT_RESIZEX fixes from Maciej Rozycki:
 "I got to the bottom of the issue with VT_RESIZEX recently discussed
  and came up with this small patch series, fixing an additional issue
  that I originally thought might be broken VGA hardware emulation with
  my laptop, which however turned out to be intertwined with the
  original problem and also a regression introduced somewhat later.

  The fix for that because the first patch, and then to make backporting
  feasible I had to put a revert of the offending change from last
  September next, followed by a proper fix for the framebuffer issue
  that change had tried to address.

  See individual change descriptions for details.

  These have been verified with true VGA hardware (a Trident TVGA8900
  ISA video adapter) using various combinations of `svgatextmode' and
  `setfont' command invocations to change both the VT size and the font
  size, and also switching between the text console and X11, both by
  starting/stopping the X server and by switching between VTs.

  All this to ensure bringing the behaviour of VGA text console back to
  correct operation as it used to be with Linux 2.6.18"

<content type='text'>
Restore the original intent of the VT_RESIZEX ioctl's `v_clin' parameter
which is the number of pixel rows per character (cell) rather than the
height of the font used.

For framebuffer devices the two values are always the same, because the
former is inferred from the latter one.  For VGA used as a true text
mode device these two parameters are independent from each other: the
number of pixel rows per character is set in the CRT controller, while
font height is in fact hardwired to 32 pixel rows and fonts of heights
below that value are handled by padding their data with blanks when
loaded to hardware for use by the character generator.  One can change
the setting in the CRT controller and it will update the screen contents
accordingly regardless of the font loaded.

The `v_clin' parameter is used by the `vgacon' driver to set the height
of the character cell and then the cursor position within.  Make the
parameter explicit then, by defining a new `vc_cell_height' struct
member of `vc_data', set it instead of `vc_font.height' from `v_clin' in
the VT_RESIZEX ioctl, and then use it throughout the `vgacon' driver
except where actual font data is accessed which as noted above is
independent from the CRTC setting.

This way the framebuffer console driver is free to ignore the `v_clin'
parameter as irrelevant, as it always should have, avoiding any issues
attempts to give the parameter a meaning there could have caused, such
as one that has led to commit 988d0763361b ("vt_ioctl: make VT_RESIZEX
behave like VT_RESIZE"):

 "syzbot is reporting UAF/OOB read at bit_putcs()/soft_cursor() [1][2],
  for vt_resizex() from ioctl(VT_RESIZEX) allows setting font height
  larger than actual font height calculated by con_font_set() from
  ioctl(PIO_FONT). Since fbcon_set_font() from con_font_set() allocates
  minimal amount of memory based on actual font height calculated by
  con_font_set(), use of vt_resizex() can cause UAF/OOB read for font
  data."

The problem first appeared around Linux 2.5.66 which predates our repo
history, but the origin could be identified with the old MIPS/Linux repo
also at: &lt;git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ralf/linux.git&gt;
as commit 9736a3546de7 ("Merge with Linux 2.5.66."), where VT_RESIZEX
code in `vt_ioctl' was updated as follows:

 		if (clin)
-			video_font_height = clin;
+			vc-&gt;vc_font.height = clin;

making the parameter apply to framebuffer devices as well, perhaps due
to the use of "font" in the name of the original `video_font_height'
variable.  Use "cell" in the new struct member then to avoid ambiguity.

Restore the original intent of the VT_RESIZEX ioctl's `v_clin' parameter
which is the number of pixel rows per character (cell) rather than the
height of the font used.

For framebuffer devices the two values are always the same, because the
former is inferred from the latter one.  For VGA used as a true text
mode device these two parameters are independent from each other: the
number of pixel rows per character is set in the CRT controller, while
font height is in fact hardwired to 32 pixel rows and fonts of heights
below that value are handled by padding their data with blanks when
loaded to hardware for use by the character generator.  One can change
the setting in the CRT controller and it will update the screen contents
accordingly regardless of the font loaded.

The `v_clin' parameter is used by the `vgacon' driver to set the height
of the character cell and then the cursor position within.  Make the
parameter explicit then, by defining a new `vc_cell_height' struct
member of `vc_data', set it instead of `vc_font.height' from `v_clin' in
the VT_RESIZEX ioctl, and then use it throughout the `vgacon' driver

<title>vgacon: Record video mode changes with VT_RESIZEX</title>

Fix an issue with VGA console font size changes made after the initial
video text mode has been changed with a user tool like `svgatextmode'
calling the VT_RESIZEX ioctl.  As it stands in that case the original
screen geometry continues being used to validate further VT resizing.

Consequently when the video adapter is firstly reprogrammed from the
original say 80x25 text mode using a 9x16 character cell (720x400 pixel
resolution) to say 80x37 text mode and the same character cell (720x592
pixel resolution), and secondly the CRTC character cell updated to 9x8
(by loading a suitable font with the KD_FONT_OP_SET request of the
KDFONTOP ioctl), the VT geometry does not get further updated from 80x37
and only upper half of the screen is used for the VT, with the lower
half showing rubbish corresponding to whatever happens to be there in
the video memory that maps to that part of the screen.  Of course the
proportions change according to text mode geometries and font sizes
chosen.

Address the problem then, by updating the text mode geometry defaults
rather than checking against them whenever the VT is resized via a user
ioctl.

We should check if ioremap() were to somehow fail in imsttfb_probe() and
handle the unwinding of the resources allocated here properly.

Ideally if anyone cares about this driver (it's for a PowerMac era PCI
display card), they wouldn't even be using fbdev anymore.  Or the devm_*
apis could be used, but that's just extra work for diminishing
returns...
