pm2fb_sync is called when doing /dev/fb read or write.
The original pm2fb_sync wait indefinitely on hardware flags which can
possibly stall kernel and make everything unresponsive.
Instead of waiting indefinitely, we can timeout to give user a chance to
get back control.

Is this a real problem or theoretical?
Does someone still use this driver?

Hi Randy,
Thanks for the comment.
I currently have this problem on my machine.
I have submitted a revised patch -- which includes the console log.
Thanks!

I suppose the rest of the patch is OK since it works for you.

I don't know any of this code. It would be nice to know what some
of those pm2_RD(par, SOME_REG) mean so that I could sort of
understand what it is doing, but don't go spending time on it
just for me. It's not worth doing that IMO.

[PATCH v3] video: fbdev: pm2fb: avoid stall on fb_sync

Message details and related content
pm2fb_sync is called when doing /dev/fb read or write.
The original pm2fb_sync wait indefinitely on hardware flags which can
possibly stall kernel and make everything unresponsive.
Instead of waiting indefinitely, we can timeout to give user a chance to
get back control.

I suppose the rest of the patch is OK since it works for you.

I don't know any of this code. It would be nice to know what some
of those pm2_RD(par, SOME_REG) mean so that I could sort of
understand what it is doing, but don't go spending time on it
just for me. It's not worth doing that IMO.

Thank you Randy. I have sent another revision.
I am also curious about those registers -- but it is hard to
accurately figure it out without datasheet --
my speculation is that it calls the device to do some sort of frame
buffer synchronizations here
Thanks,

Is this a real problem or theoretical?
Does someone still use this driver?
I currently have this problem on my machine.
I have submitted a revised patch -- which includes the console log.
Your machine is "QEMU Standard"?
Can this happen on real hardware, too, or is this a deficiency in QEMU,
which should be fixed there?

Hi Geert,
IMHO - QEMU is irrelevant here. since I can do passthrough --
in fact -- many drivers do use timeout in .fb_sync
e.g. i810fb_sync(), nouveau_fbcon_sync(), sm501fb_sync() etc..
I believe the correct behaviour should be a timeout wait instead of
waiting indefinitely.
