fb: convert lock/unlock_kernel() into local fb mutex

2008-10-20T15:52:36+00:00

Change lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() to local fb mutex. Each frame buffer instance has its own mutex. The one line try_to_load() function is unrolled to request_module() in two places for readability.

fbdefio: add set_page_dirty handler to deferred IO FB

2008-08-20T22:40:32+00:00

Fixes kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c:473. Previously the handler was incidentally provided by tmpfs but this was removed with: commit 14fcc23fdc78e9d32372553ccf21758a9bd56fa1 Author: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon Jul 28 15:46:19 2008 -0700 tmpfs: fix kernel BUG in shmem_delete_inode relying on this behaviour was incorrect in any case and the BUG also appeared when the device node was on an ext3 filesystem. v2: override a_ops at open() time rather than mmap() time to minimise races per AKPM's concerns.

video/fb: cleanup FB_MAJOR usage

2008-07-24T17:47:41+00:00

Currently, linux/major.h defines a GRAPHDEV_MAJOR (29) that nobody uses, and linux/fb.h defines the real FB_MAJOR (also 29), that only fbmem.c needs. Drop GRAPHDEV_MAJOR from major.h, move FB_MAJOR definition from fb.h to major.h, and fix fbmem.c to use major.h's definition. Signed-off-by: Philippe De Muyter Cc: Krzysztof Helt Cc: "Antonino A.

tridentfb: acceleration constants change

2008-07-24T17:47:36+00:00

This patch replaces deprecated constant FB_ACCELF_TEXT with FBINFO_HWACCEL_DISABLED and adds constants for Trident families of accelerators. The FBINFO_HWACCEL_DISABLED is correctly used so noaccel parameter works now. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fb: add support for foreign endianness

2008-04-28T15:58:35+00:00

Add support for the framebuffers with non-native endianness. This is done via FBINFO_FOREIGN_ENDIAN flag that will be used by the drivers. Depending on the host endianness this flag will be overwritten by FBINFO_BE_MATH internal flag, or cleared. Tested to work on MPC8360E-RDK (BE) + Fujitsu MINT framebuffer (LE).

fbdev: Support for byte-reversed framebuffer formats

2007-10-16T16:43:19+00:00

Allow generic frame-buffer code to correctly write texts and blit images for 1, 2 and 4 bit per pixel frame-buffer organizations when pixels in bytes are organized to in opposite order than bytes in long type. Overhead should be reasonable. If option is not selected, than compiler should eliminate completely all overhead. The feature is disabled at compile time if CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE is not set. [adaplas] Convert helper functions to macros if feature is not enabled.

fbdev: fbcon: console unregistration from unregister_framebuffer

2007-07-17T17:23:11+00:00

This allows for proper console unregistration via the VT layer, and updates the FB layer to use it. This makes debugging new console drivers much easier, since you can properly clean them up before unloading. [adaplas] unregister_framebuffer() is typically called as part of the driver's module_exit(). Doing so otherwise will freeze the machine as the VT layer is holding reference counts on fbcon, and fbcon on the driver. With this change, it allows unregister_framebuffer() to be called safely anywhere as needed. Additions from the original: If multiple drivers are used by fbcon, and if one of them unregisters, a driver will take over the consoles vacated by the outgoing one (via set_con2fb_map). Once only the outgoing driver remains, then fbcon will unbind from the VT layer (if CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE_UNBINDING is set to y). It is important that these drivers implement fb_open() and fb_release() just to ensure that no other process is using the driver. Likewise, these drivers _must_ check the return value of unregister_framebuffer().
