* [PATCH v2 1/4] fbdev: defio: Disconnect deferred I/O from the lifetime of struct fb_info
       [not found] <20260224082657.207284-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>

From: Thomas Zimmermann @ 2026-02-24  8:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: deller, simona, jayalk; +Cc: linux-fbdev, dri-devel, Thomas Zimmermann, stable

Hold state of deferred I/O in struct fb_deferred_io_state. Allocate an
instance as part of initializing deferred I/O and remove it only after
the final mapping has been closed. If the fb_info and the contained
deferred I/O meanwhile goes away, clear struct fb_deferred_io_state.info
to invalidate the mapping. Any access will then result in a SIGBUS
signal.

Fixes a long-standing problem, where a device hot-unplug happens while
user space still has an active mapping of the graphics memory. The hot-
unplug frees the instance of struct fb_info. Accessing the memory will
operate on undefined state.

v2:
- use kzalloc_obj()
