We should check the timings I think since we don't allow chaning them.
Though I suppose we don't even populate them. But then the user
shouldn't be allowed try to set them either I guess.

Also the red/green/... definitions for the actual bits of the color
channels. .grayscale is there well, and some colorspace thing which
I don't even know what it does. And rotation...
So I think in the end it pretty much boils down to everything except
xoffset/yoffset ;)

This still looks somewhat incomplete. Sounds like we should just
reject changes to everything except xoffset/yoffset.

The description is a bit confusing. Don't you mean that currently the
fbdev emulation does allow changes, but doesn't actually push those
changes to KMS? And this patch makes the driver reject those changes.
The change itself sounds good to me.

Ultimately we should do that agreed.
However, the framebuffer settings are a bigger problem currently: It is
not just that we silently not apply settings, but because we don't error
out on check_var the fbcon subsystem assumes the changes have been
applied to the display controller and redraws the console with the new
format... Timings do not affect the drawing of fbcon, hence this is less
of a problem. I probably should have mentioned that in the commit log
too.
The callback is also used for initial configuration (which I guess is
some kind of struct fb_var_screeninfo populated by the KMS subsystem?).
Checking more parameters increases the risk that we wrongfully reject
initial configurations which would left people with a broken fbdev
emulation.

We can only easily check what is in the intersection of struct
drm_framebuffer and struct fb_var_screeninfo.
Not sure how the color bit definitions actually map to DRM/KMS stuff, I
guess just through the pixel_format field?
Rotation is something which is per plane, which again is not easily
accessible.
I don't disagree, we should check all this. But we haven't checked any
of this so far, and I would rather start with a small subset (e.g. only
check the stuff easily convertible and available in struct
drm_framebuffer).

Make sense to me, but would be great to have an r-b from someone who has
some clue about fbdev ... Tomi, Laurent?

What other parameters would you check? struct fb_var_screeninfo also has
timings, but that is not something which is handy right here...
One parameter we could check too is the depth calculated from the bit
information, e.g.
switch (var->bits_per_pixel) {
case 16:
depth = (var->green.length == 6) ? 16 : 15;
break;
case 32:
depth = (var->transp.length > 0) ? 32 : 24;
break;
default:
depth = var->bits_per_pixel;
break;
}
+
+ if (depth != fb->depth) {
+ DRM_DEBUG("fb userspace requested depth different than current
fb "
+ "request %d vs. %dx\n", depth, fb->depth);
+ return -EINVAL;
+ }
Or, maybe better, we could use drm_mode_legacy_fb_format to convert
bpp/depth to fourcc and check that against the pixel_format field...

[RFC] drm/fb-helper: reject any changes to the fbdev
The current fbdev emulation does not allow to push back changes in
width, height or depth to KMS, hence reject any changes with an
error. This makes sure that fbdev ioctl's fail properly and user
space does not assume that changes succeeded.

This rejects reconfiguration of framebuffer like
fbset -rgba 5,6,5 -depth 16 (when in 24 bit mode by default)
fbset -xres 123
I think all users of drm_fb_helper_check_var use also the generic
drm_fb_helper_set_par (or do otherwise not support changing size/
depth). Hence, afaict, the change should be the right thing to do
for all driver...
