A framebuffer is pinned when it's set as pipe base, so we also need to
unpin it when it's destroyed. Some framebuffers are never used as
scanout (no mode set on them) so if the pin count is less than one, no
unpinning is needed.

The drm core /should/ have removed the user framebuffer from all active
users before it calls down into your ->destroy callback. Why can't gma500
just pin/unpin on demand when the buffer is actually in use?

If a pin survives the official use as seen by the drm core (e.g. to keep a
buffer around until the pageflip completes) you can simply keep an
additional reference around.

Cheers, Daniel

Thanks for the feedback

DRM core does correctly keep track of the users but the last ref is dropped in
our ->destroy callback and at that point it's still pinned from pipe_set_base().
So if it's considered too late to unpin the framebuffer in destroy, we never had
it right in the first place. Not a big surprise I guess :)

As I wrote above, that additional reference is not dropped until ->destroy
anyways and we don't have page flipping support and to be honest I haven't even
looked at implementing it yet. So the logical point to release the pin would be
in pipe_set_base() (or am I wrong?) by doing an unpin on the old_fb. Problem is
that when killing X and switching back to fbdev we get no old_fb.

I might be missing something, so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
Patrik

Dumping our irc discussion for google to index here:

I sounds like gma500 code is missing the crtc disabling sequence when
X shuts down, i.e. the crtc on->off transition. Then when you switch
to fbcon you only get a crtc off->on state transition and so don't see
an old fb in set_base, which means that the pin refcount of the old
framebuffer is lost. To fix this you can use the special call to
crtc_funcs->disable (instead of the default crtc_funcs->dpms(OFF)) in
drm_helper_disable_unused_functions.

Note that X could also do the vt switch first and then only do the
framebuffer destruction, in which case I think your patch here would
drop the pin reference twice: Once in set_base since we have an old_fb
and once in the framebuffer destroy callback.

See  intel_crtc_disable in intel_display.c in a v3.6 kernel version
for how drm/i915 cleanup up the fb pin reference before we've reworked
our modeset code and switched away from the crtc helpers.

Cheers, Daniel
