[PATCH 0/7] HID: picoLCD updates

From: Bruno Prémont <bonbons@linux-vserver.org>
Date: 2012-07-30 19:37:35
Also in: linux-input, lkml

Hi,

This series updates picoLCD driver:
- split the driver functions into separate files which get included
  depending on Kconfig selection
  (implementation for CIR using RC_CORE will follow later)
- drop private framebuffer refcounting in favor of refcounting added
  to fb_info some time ago
- fix various bugs issues
- disabled firmware version checking in probe() as it does not work
  anymore since commit 4ea5454203d991ec85264f64f89ca8855fce69b0
  [HID: Fix race condition between driver core and ll-driver]

Note: I still get weird behavior on quick unbind/bind sequences
issued via sysfs (CONFIG_SMP=n system) that are triggered by framebuffer
support and apparently more specifically fb_defio part of it.

Unfortunately I'm out of ideas as to how to track down the problem which
shows either as SLAB corruption (detected with SLUB debugging, e.g.

or worse spontaneous reboot of the system without any trace on netconsole or
serial console.

echo $devid > bind; echo $devid > unbind
or
echo $devid > bind; echo $devid > unbind; sleep 0.2; echo $devid > bind; echo $devid > unbind

is sufficient to trigger the above issue while waiting a few seconds between bind and unbind
shows no sign of trouble.

Suggestions as to how to debug this and fix it are welcome!

Thanks,
Bruno
