Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] fbdev: ssd1307fb: defer I2C transfers from damage callbacks
Date: Tue,  8 Sep 2026 08:20:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908122020.2050714-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090352-freebie-sprain-0960@gregkh>

From: Hui Su <sh_def@163.com>

[ Upstream commit 9ad709afdfa32509ed64938a6d9cd00db3cd54c2 ]

The fbdev damage callbacks may run from fbcon while printk has disabled
preemption.  They currently update the display synchronously, which enters
the sleeping I2C transfer path from atomic context.

A complete report from an RK3566 system follows:

Track damage in the driver's private data under a spinlock and merge
multiple updates into a bounding rectangle.  Queue the existing
deferred-I/O work immediately for damage reported by fbdev drawing and
write helpers, so allocation and I2C transfers run from process context
without adding the configured mmap refresh delay.  Keep full-screen
updates for dirty mmap pages, for which no precise rectangle is available.

Tested on an RK3566 board with a 128x64 OLED by running five rounds of 250
KERN_EMERG messages in total while issuing framebuffer writes every 15 ms.
No atomic-sleep, preemption, or lockdep warning occurred.  Kprobe tracing
also confirmed that cursor-only damage remained an 8x16 partial update.
