Thanks for CC'ing me. Lately I got dropped frequently from the

Yeah, it would be great if you could help, at the moment I get barely
any sleep, let alone that I could keep up with the majority of mail I
get. I'll let you decide whether you want to be sole maintainer or not.
I still have interest in the subsystem, but it looks like VIA won't
provide any information for their new VX11 chipset IGP for any open
source driver and I'm still looking for a small, quiet mobile device as
a replacement for my precious netbook that broke down last autumn to
allow me working when I'm not at home.

At this point I'd like to thank all people who have helped out so far,

* [PATCH] video: mxsfb: Let device core handle pinctrl
From: Fabio Estevam @ 2013-05-27  1:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-fbdev

From: Fabio Estevam <fabio.estevam@freescale.com>

Since commit ab78029 (drivers/pinctrl: grab default handles from device core)
we can rely on device core for handling pinctrl, so remove 
devm_pinctrl_get_select_default() from the driver.

* [PATCH v2] video: simplefb: add mode parsing function
From: Alexandre Courbot @ 2013-05-27  3:53 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel

The naming scheme of simplefb's mode is precise enough to allow building
the mode structure from it instead of using a static list of modes. This
patch introduces a function that does this. In case exotic modes that
cannot be represented from their name alone are needed, the static list
of modes is still available as a backup.

It also changes the order in which colors are declared from MSB first to
the more standard LSB first.

Signed-off-by: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com>
---
Changes from v1:
- amended documentation following Stephen's suggestion
- allow parsing of bitfields larger than 9 bits
- made it clear that the parsing order of bits is changed with respect
  to the original patch

Andrew, since this patch introduces a (small) change in the DT bindings,
could we try to merge it during the -rc cycle so we don't have to come
with a more complex solution in the future?

I've been collecting fbdev patches for the latest merge windows, so that
Linus doesn't get tons of small separate pull requests. But I haven't
been very proactive with that, and I don't think I have time to really
maintain fbdev.

So I'd also welcome somebody stepping up and taking taking on the
maintainership of fbdev.

 Tomi

Ps. I already have a few patches for 3.10 and for 3.11. I'll send them
to you.

Hi Tomi,

I really thank you for your previous efforts.
Actually, I thought that you're a good fit for fbdev.

Hi Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD,

I agree with Tomi's opinion.
If you take the maintainership of fbdev, it will be very helpful.

* [PATCH] console/dummy: Move screen size selection from CPP to Kconfig
From: Geert Uytterhoeven @ 2013-05-27  8:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-arm-kernel

PA-RISC already handled the dummy console screen size selection in Kconfig,
so generalize this to other platforms.

ARM keeps on using screen_info, which is filled in by platform-specific
code, or from ATAGS.

* RE: Introduce a new helper framework for buffer synchronization
From: Inki Dae @ 2013-05-27 10:38 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-fbdev
In-Reply-To: <51909DB4.2060208@canonical.com>

Hi all,

I have been removed previous branch and added new one with more cleanup.
This time, the fence helper doesn't include user side interfaces and cache
operation relevant codes anymore because not only we are not sure that
coupling those two things, synchronizing caches and buffer access between
CPU and CPU, CPU and DMA, and DMA and DMA with fences, in kernel side is a
good idea yet but also existing codes for user side have problems with badly
behaved or crashing userspace. So this could be more discussed later.

The below is a new branch,
	
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos.git/?h=dma-f
ence-helper

And fence helper codes,
	
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos.git/commit/?
h=dma-fence-helper&id­cbc0fe7e285ce866e5816e5e21443dcce01005

And example codes for device driver,
	
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/daeinki/drm-exynos.git/commit/?
h=dma-fence-helper&idÒce7af23835789602a99d0ccef1f53cdd5caaae

I think the time is not yet ripe for RFC posting: maybe existing dma fence
and reservation need more review and addition work. So I'd glad for somebody
giving other opinions and advices in advance before RFC posting.

Thanks,
Inki Dae

NAK.

For examples for how to handle locking properly, see Documentation/ww-mutex-design.txt in my recent tree.
I could list what I believe is wrong with your implementation, but real problem is that the approach you're taking is wrong.

thoughts from a *really* quick, pre-coffee, first look:
* any sort of helper to simplify single-buffer sort of use-cases (v4l)
probably wouldn't want to bake in assumption that seqno_fence is used.
* I guess g2d is probably not actually a simple use case, since I
expect you can submit blits involving multiple buffers :-P
* otherwise, you probably don't want to depend on dmabuf, which is why
reservation/fence is split out the way it is..  you want to be able to
use a single reservation/fence mechanism within your driver without
having to care about which buffers are exported to dmabuf's and which
are not.  Creating a dmabuf for every GEM bo is too heavyweight.

I'm not entirely sure if reservation/fence could/should be made any
simpler for multi-buffer users.  Probably the best thing to do is just
get reservation/fence rolled out in a few drivers and see if some
common patterns emerge.

Yeah, which is why Maarten&I discussed ideas already for what needs to
be improved in the current dma-buf interface code to make this Just
Work. At least as long as a driver doesn't want to add new fences,
which would be especially useful for all kinds of gpu access.

> * I guess g2d is probably not actually a simple use case, since I

Yeah, on a quick read the current fence helper code seems to be a bit
limited in scope.

That's pretty much the reason that reservations are free-standing from
dma_bufs. The idea is to embed them into the gem/ttm/v4l buffer
object. Maarten also has some helpers to keep track of multi-buffer
ww_mutex locking and fence attaching in his reservation helpers, but I
think we should wait with those until we have drivers using them.

For now I think the priority should be to get the basic stuff in and
ttm as the first user established. Then we can go nuts later on.

I think we can make the 1 buffer per dma op (i.e. 1:1
dma_buf->reservation : fence mapping) work fairly simple in dma_buf
with maybe a dma_buf_attachment_start_dma/end_dma helpers. But there's
also still the open that currently there's no way to flush cpu caches
for dma access without unmapping the attachement (or resorting to
trick which might not work), so we have a few gaping holes in the
interface already anyway.

Is there a specific reason why we need arbitrary RGB formats? I have a
KMS/DRM driver based on dvbe that can provide the exact same
functionality as this fbdev driver (including an fbdev
backwards-compat layer). However, DRM does not allow arbitrary formats
but rather provides a huge list of supported formats.

If we apply this patch it will get very hard to support this with a
KMS driver. So any reason why we cannot use the DRM FOURCC constants
instead?

The dvbe proposal is available here: (also see the two following patches)
  http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.2/00274.html

it provides a simple DRM driver that uses VESA / VBE. I am currently
trying to rework it to "SimpleDRM" which can support arbitrary
firmware framebuffers.

Cheers
David

I don't see any. Maybe Stephen can confirm.

Ok. I am personally fine with using FOURCC codes for describing video
modes. Maybe we can just drop this patch if it gets in your way.

I just removed ticket stubs to show my approach you guys as simple as
possible, and I just wanted to show that we could use buffer synchronization
mechanism without ticket stubs.

Question, WW-Mutexes could be used for all devices? I guess this has
dependence on x86 gpu: gpu has VRAM and it means different memory domain.
And could you tell my why shared fence should have only eight objects? I
think we could need more than eight objects for read access. Anyway I think
I don't surely understand yet so there might be my missing point.

Thanks,
Inki Dae
