commit 33cd6ea9c0673517cdb06ad5c915c6f22e9615fc upstream.

When framebuffer gets closed, the queued deferred IO gets cancelled. This
can cause some last display data to vanish. This is problematic for users
who send a still image to the framebuffer, then close the file: the image
may never appear.

To ensure none of display data get lost, flush the queued deferred IO
first before closing.

Another possible solution is to delete the cancel_delayed_work_sync()
instead. The difference is that the display may appear some time after
closing. However, the clearing of page mapping after this needs to be
removed too, because the page mapping is used by the deferred work. It is
not completely obvious whether it is okay to not clear the page mapping.
For a patch intended for stable trees, go with the simple and obvious
solution.

<title>fbdev: flush deferred work in fb_deferred_io_fsync()</title>

commit 15e4c1f462279b4e128f27de48133e0debe9e0df upstream.

The driver's fsync() is supposed to flush any pending operation to
hardware. It is implemented in this driver by cancelling the queued
deferred IO first, then schedule it for "immediate execution" by calling
schedule_delayed_work() again with delay=0. However, setting delay=0
only means the work is scheduled immediately, it does not mean the work
is executed immediately. There is no guarantee that the work is finished
after schedule_delayed_work() returns. After this driver's fsync()
returns, there can still be pending work. Furthermore, if close() is
called by users immediately after fsync(), the pending work gets
cancelled and fsync() may do nothing.

To ensure that the deferred IO completes, use flush_delayed_work()
instead. Write operations to this driver either write to the device
directly, or invoke schedule_delayed_work(); so by flushing the
workqueue, it can be guaranteed that all previous writes make it to the
device.

[ Upstream commit 5758844105f7dd9a0a04990cd92499a1a593dd36 ]

The previous setting did not take into account the CSTN mode.
For the H_WAIT_2 bitfield (bits 0-7) of the LCDC Horizontal Configuration
Register (LCDCR), the IMX25RM manual states that:

In TFT mode, it specifies the number of SCLK periods between the end of
HSYNC and the beginning of OE signal, and the total delay time equals
(H_WAIT_2 + 3) of SCLK periods.
In CSTN mode, it specifies the number of SCLK periods between the end of
HSYNC and the first display data in each line, and the total delay time
equals (H_WAIT_2 + 2) of SCLK periods.

The patch handles both cases.

<title>fbdev: amifb: Convert to platform remove callback returning void</title>

<content type='text'>
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

As described in the added code comment, a reference to .exit.text is ok
for drivers registered via module_platform_driver_probe(). Make this
explicit to prevent a section mismatch warning.

When CONFIG_SYSFB is disabled, the hyperv_fb driver can now run into
undefined behavior on a gen2 VM, as indicated by this smatch warning:

drivers/video/fbdev/hyperv_fb.c:1077 hvfb_getmem() error: uninitialized symbol 'base'.
drivers/video/fbdev/hyperv_fb.c:1077 hvfb_getmem() error: uninitialized symbol 'size'.

Since there is no way to know the actual framebuffer in this configuration,
just return an allocation failure here, which should avoid the build
warning and the undefined behavior.

Reported-by: kernel test robot &lt;lkp@intel.com&gt;
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter &lt;dan.carpenter@linaro.org&gt;
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202311070802.YCpvehaz-lkp@intel.com/
Fixes: a07b50d80ab6 ("hyperv: avoid dependency on screen_info")

<title>fbdev: omapfb/tpd12s015: Convert to platform remove callback returning void</title>

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.

To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new(), which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() will be renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.
