Lots of code can be removed by relying on fb-helper: - "struct drm_framebuffer" moves to fb_helper.fb. - "struct drm_gem_object" moves to fb_helper.obj[0]. - "struct qxl_device" can be inferred as drm_fb_helper is embedded. - qxl_user_framebuffer_create -> drm_gem_fb_create. - qxl_user_framebuffer_destroy -> drm_gem_fb_destroy. - qxl_fbdev_destroy -> drm_fb_helper_fbdev_teardown + vfree(shadow). Remove unused code: - qxl_fbdev_qobj_is_fb, qxl_fbdev_set_suspend. - Unused fields of qxl_fbdev: delayed_ops, delayed_ops_lock, size. Misc notes: - The dirty callback is preserved as it is necessary to trigger update commands in the hw (the screen stays black otherwise). - No idea when .create_handle in drm_framebuffer_funcs is used, but use the same drm_gem_fb_create_handle to match drm_gem_fb_funcs. - I don't know why qxl_fb_find_or_create_single used to check for an existing framebuffer and removed that check to match other drivers. - Use of drm_fb_helper_fbdev_teardown also requires "info->fbdefio" to be dynamically allocated. Replace the existing defio config by drm_fb_helper_defio_init to accomodate this. Testing results: startx with fbdev, modesetting and qxl all seems to work. Tested also with CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION=n, fbdev obviously fails but others are fine. QEMU -spice and QEMU -spice with vdagent and multiple (resized) displays (via remote-viewer) also works. unbind vtconsole and rmmod has *not* regressed (i.e. it still trips on a use-after-free in qxl_check_idle via qxl_ttm_fini). Ideally setup/teardown is replaced by drm_fbdev_generic_setup as that would result in further code reduction, improve error handling (like not leaking shadow memory), but unfortunately QXL has no implementation for qxl_gem_prime_vmap.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
