From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vet...@ffwll.ch> commit dc5bdb68b5b369d5bc7d1de96fa64cc1737a6320 upstream.
In the past we had a pile of hacks to orchestrate access between fbdev emulation and native kms clients. We've tried to streamline this, by always preferring the kms side above fbdev calls when a drm master exists, because drm master controls access to the display resources. Unfortunately this breaks existing userspace, specifically Xorg. When exiting Xorg first restores the console to text mode using the KDSET ioctl on the vt. This does nothing, because a drm master is still around. Then it drops the drm master status, which again does nothing, because logind is keeping additional drm fd open to be able to orchestrate vt switches. In the past this is the point where fbdev was restored, as part of the ->lastclose hook on the drm side. Now to fix this regression we don't want to go back to letting fbdev restore things whenever it feels like, or to the pile of hacks we've had before. Instead try and go with a minimal exception to make the KDSET case work again, and nothing else. This means that if userspace does a KDSET call when switching between graphical compositors, there will be some flickering with fbcon showing up for a bit. But a) that's not a regression and b) userspace can fix it by improving the vt switching dance - logind should have all the information it needs. While pondering all this I'm also wondering wheter we should have a SWITCH_MASTER ioctl to allow race-free master status handover. But that's for another day. v2: Somehow forgot to cc all the fbdev people. v3: Fix typo Alex spotted.
