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.
