When the linux kernel is build with (typical kernel ship with Debian
installer):

CONFIG_FB_OF=y
CONFIG_VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING=y
CONFIG_FB_RADEON=m

The offb driver takes precedence over module radeonfb. It is then
impossible to load the module, error reported is:

[   96.551486] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: enabling device (0006 -> 0007)
[   96.551526] radeonfb 0000:00:10.0: BAR 0: can't reserve [mem 0x98000000-0x9fffffff pref]

[   96.551545] radeonfb: probe of 0000:00:10.0 failed with error -16

This patch reproduce the behavior of the module radeon, so as to make it
possible to load radeonfb when offb is first loaded.

It should be noticed that `offb_destroy` is never called which explain the
need to skip error detection on the radeon side.
This still needs to be explained more, from my last mail:

"The last put_fb_info() on fb_info should call ->fb_destroy
(offb_destroy in our case) and remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
is calling put_fb_info() so there is some extra reference on
fb_info somewhere preventing it from going away.

Please look into fixing this."
I am not familiar with the fb stuff internals but here is what I see:

# modprobe radeonfb

leads to:

I can confirm that offb_destroy is never called (not sure exactly
why), but in any case the call to radeon_kick_out_firmware_fb happen
much earlier, at least before the put_fb_info.
It is okay, put_fb_info() is called indirectly by radeon_kick_out_firmware_fb()

radeon_kick_out_firmware_fb()
        remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
                do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers()
                        do_unregister_framebuffer()
                                put_fb_info()

offb_destroy() is not called because there is an extra reference on old
fb_info (->count = 2):

static void put_fb_info(struct fb_info *fb_info)
{
        if (!atomic_dec_and_test(&fb_info->count))
                return;
        if (fb_info->fbops->fb_destroy)
                fb_info->fbops->fb_destroy(fb_info);
}

The question is why there is an extra reference, probably user-space
is still holding the fb_info reference obtained in fb_open() call and
fb_release() is never called. Besides not calling fbops->fb_destroy()
this also causes missing call of fbops->fb_release() (in fb_release())
which some fb drivers are implementing (but not offb.c).

Could you describe a bit more the chain of calls you were thinking of ?
Please add WARN_ON(1) to get_fb_info() and put_fb_info() so we can check
from the stacktrace if it is actually fb_open() that holds the extra
old fb_info reference.

drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbmem.c:

static struct fb_info *get_fb_info(unsigned int idx)
{
        struct fb_info *fb_info;

        if (idx >= FB_MAX)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV);

        mutex_lock(&registration_lock);
        fb_info = registered_fb[idx];
        if (fb_info)
                atomic_inc(&fb_info->count);

if (fb_info)
        WARN_ON(1);

        mutex_unlock(&registration_lock);

        return fb_info;
}

static void put_fb_info(struct fb_info *fb_info)
{
WARN_ON(1);

        if (!atomic_dec_and_test(&fb_info->count))
                return;
        if (fb_info->fbops->fb_destroy)
                fb_info->fbops->fb_destroy(fb_info);
}

Alright, here is what I see:

Full dmesg:
https://people.debian.org/~malat/dmesg_radeonfb.txt

Does that help at all? the call stack does not make much sense to me.
I am accessing the Mac Mini over ssh.
Thank you, it helps.

User-space is holding reference on the /dev/fb0 and old fb_info
(from offb) while offb is being replaced by radeonfb (this is
why ->fb_destroy is never called). You may try checking with
lsof command to see what is holding /dev/fb0 open..
Right, I totally missed that X was running:

$ sudo lsof /dev/fb0
COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
Xorg    469 root  mem    CHR   29,0          6500 /dev/fb0
Xorg    469 root   12u   CHR   29,0      0t0 6500 /dev/fb0

so I simply:

$ dmesg > before_xdm_stop
$ sudo service xdm stop
$ dmesg > after_xdm_stop
$ sudo lsof /dev/fb0
-> nothing

And I can verify in dmesg the call to put_fb_info:

$ diff -u before_xdm_stop after_xdm_stop

Now with your WARN_ON patch and xdm service stopped, here is what I get:

https://people.debian.org/~malat/full_xdm_stop_offb_without.log

You'll see that modprobe to radeonfb still fails.

If you now compare with the patch (v4) applied (+ WARN_ON and xdm
service stopped):

https://people.debian.org/~malat/full_xdm_stop_offb_with.log

You'll see a printk INFO for the call to offb_destroy:

...
[   48.025983]  MM calling offb_destroy
...

offb_destroy is called too late, which explains the failure for
loading radeonfb without the patch.
offb_destroy() seems to be called in the right place but we still
need to kick out offb.  IOW your patch is needed but with xdm stop
sequence it should be possible to drop ifdef hacks.

PS switch to drm_fb_helper_remove_conflicting_framebuffers() in v4
should be reverted to just use remove_conflicting_framebuffers() as
the former one is for DRM subsystem only.

v2: Only fails when CONFIG_PCC is not set
v3: Only fails when CONFIG_FB_OF is not set, CONFIG_PCC was too broad. Since the conflicts in region is due to OFfb explicitly refers to it.
It seems that there may still be configurations when this is
incorrect -> when offb drives primary (non-radeon) card and radeonfb
drives secondary (radeon) card..
