In the current kernel, then kzalloc() can't fail for small allocations,
but if it did fail then we would have a NULL dereference in the error
handling. Also in dlfb_usb_disconnect() if "info" were NULL then it
would cause an Oops inside the unregister_framebuffer() function but it
can't be NULL so let's remove that check.

The udlfb driver maintained an open count and cleaned up itself when the
count reached zero. But the console is also counted in the reference count
- so, if the user unplugged the device, the open count would not drop to
zero and the driver stayed loaded with console attached. If the user
re-plugged the adapter, it would create a device /dev/fb1, show green
screen and the access to the console would be lost.
The framebuffer subsystem has reference counting on its own - in order to
fix the unplug bug, we rely the framebuffer reference counting. When the
user unplugs the adapter, we call unregister_framebuffer unconditionally.
unregister_framebuffer will unbind the console, wait until all users stop
using the framebuffer and then call the fb_destroy method. The fb_destroy
cleans up the USB driver.
This patch makes the following changes:
* Drop dlfb->kref and rely on implicit framebuffer reference counting
instead.
* dlfb_usb_disconnect calls unregister_framebuffer, the rest of driver
cleanup is done in the function dlfb_ops_destroy. dlfb_ops_destroy will
be called by the framebuffer subsystem when no processes have the
framebuffer open or mapped.
* We don't use workqueue during initialization, but initialize directly
from dlfb_usb_probe. The workqueue could race with dlfb_usb_disconnect
and this racing would produce various kinds of memory corruption.
* We use usb_get_dev and usb_put_dev to make sure that the USB subsystem
doesn't free the device under us.

spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock_irqrestore is inteded to be called from
a context where it is unknown if interrupts are enabled or disabled (such
as interrupt handlers). From a process context, we should call
spin_lock_irq and spin_unlock_irq, that avoids the costly pushf and popf
instructions.

Currently, the udlfb driver only tests for identical bytes at the
beginning or at the end of a page and renders anything between the first
and last mismatching pixel. But pages are not the same as lines, so this
is quite suboptimal - if there is something modified at the beginning of a
page and at the end of a page, the whole page is rendered, even if most of
the page is not modified.
This patch makes it test for identical pixels at the beginning and end of
each rendering command. This patch improves identical byte detection by
41% when playing video in a window.
This patch also fixes a possible screen corruption if the user is writing
to the framebuffer while dlfb_render_hline is in progress - the pixel data
that is copied to the backbuffer with memcpy may be different from the
pixel data that is actually rendered to the hardware (because the content
of the framebuffer may change between memcpy and the rendering command).
We must make sure that we copy exactly the same pixel as the pixel that is
being rendered.

This patch changes udlfb so that it may reallocate the framebuffer when
setting higher-resolution mode. If we boot the system without monitor
attached, udlfb creates a framebuffer with the size 800x600. This patch
makes it possible to select higher videomode with the fbset command when
a monitor is attached.
Note that there is no reliable way to prevent the system from touching the
old framebuffer, so we must not free it. We add it to the list
dlfb->deferred_free and free it when the driver is unloaded.

The defio subsystem overwrites the method fb_osp->mmap. That method is
stored in module's static data - and that means that if we have multiple
diplaylink adapters, they will over write each other's method.
In order to avoid interference between multiple adapters, we copy the
fb_ops structure to a device-local memory.

The udlfb driver reprograms the hardware everytime the user switches the
console, that makes quite unusable when working on the console.
This patch makes the driver remember the videomode we are in and avoid
reprogramming the hardware if we switch to the same videomode.
We mask the "activate" field and the "FB_VMODE_SMOOTH_XPAN" flag when
comparing the videomode, because they cause spurious switches when
switching to and from the Xserver.

The displaylink hardware has such a peculiarity that it doesn't render a
command until next command is received. This produces occasional
corruption, such as when setting 22x11 font on the console, only the first
line of the cursor will be blinking if the cursor is located at some
specific columns.
When we end up with a repeating pixel, the driver has a bug that it leaves
one uninitialized byte after the command (and this byte is enough to flush
the command and render it - thus it fixes the screen corruption), however
whe we end up with a non-repeating pixel, there is no byte appended and
this results in temporary screen corruption.
This patch fixes the screen corruption by always appending a byte 0xAF at
the end of URB. It also removes the uninitialized byte.

I observed that the performance of the udl fb driver degrades over time.
On a freshly booted machine, it takes 6 seconds to do "ls -la /usr/bin";
after some time of use, the same operation takes 14 seconds.
The reason is that the value of "limit_sem" decays over time.
The udl driver uses a semaphore "limit_set" to specify how many free urbs
are there on dlfb->urbs.list. If the count is zero, the "down" operation
will sleep until some urbs are added to the freelist.
In order to avoid some hypothetical deadlock, the driver will not call
"up" immediately, but it will offload it to a workqueue. The problem is
that if we call "schedule_delayed_work" on the same work item multiple
times, the work item may only be executed once.
This is happening:
* some urb completes
* dlfb_urb_completion adds it to the free list
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work to schedule the function
dlfb_release_urb_work to increase the semaphore count
* as the urb is on the free list, some other task grabs it and submits it
* the submitted urb completes, dlfb_urb_completion is called again
* dlfb_urb_completion calls schedule_delayed_work, but the work is already
scheduled, so it does nothing
* finally, dlfb_release_urb_work is called, it increases the semaphore
count by 1, although it should increase it by 2
So, the semaphore count is decreasing over time, and this causes gradual
performance degradation.
Note that in the current kernel, the "up" function may be called from
interrupt and it may race with the "down" function called by another
thread, so we don't have to offload the call of "up" to a workqueue at
all. This patch removes the workqueue code. The patch also changes
"down_interruptible" to "down" in dlfb_free_urb_list, so that we will
clean up the driver properly even if a signal arrives.
With this patch, the performance of udlfb no longer degrades.
