Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] fbdev: fix mode sysfs lifetime and bounds issues
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 01:42:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701234248.236023-1-mlbnkm1@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701231706.234715-1-mlbnkm1@gmail.com>
This v3 adds a patch to clear fb_info->mode before deleting a
videomode through FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO with FB_ACTIVATE_INV_MODE.
Patch 1 bounds mode sysfs output so show_modes() cannot advance the
sysfs buffer offset past PAGE_SIZE.
Patch 2 clears fb_info->mode before fb_delete_videomode() when it
matches the mode being removed via the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl.
Patch 3 serializes mode sysfs access with lock_fb_info(), including
store_mode(), show_mode(), and show_modes().
Changes in v3:
- Add patch to clear fb_info->mode in fb_set_var() INV_MODE path.

fbdev: bound mode sysfs output to the sysfs buffer
fbdev: clear fb_info->mode before deleting a videomode
fbdev: serialize mode sysfs access with lock_fb_info()
