vgaarb: fix "target=default" passing 2010-04-26T14:41:28+00:00 Eugene Teo eugeneteo@kernel.sg 2010-03-23T02:52:13+00:00 7a3a3bba93b8d3bb93677838bfe2c1a03e686e72 Commit 77c1ff3982c6b36961725dd19e872a1c07df7f3b fixed the userspace pointer dereference, but introduced another bug pointed out by Eugene Teo in RH bug #564264. Instead of comparing the point we were at in the string, we instead compared the beginning of the string to "default".

PCI/GPU: implement VGA arbitration on Linux 2009-09-09T20:29:36+00:00 Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org 2009-08-11T05:52:06+00:00 deb2d2ecd43dfc51efe71eed7128fda514da96c6 Background: Graphic devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. While most modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994 Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1" Section 7, Legacy Devices. The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server currently does the task of arbitration when more than one legacy device co-exists on the same machine. But the problem happens when these devices are trying to be accessed by different userspace clients (e.g. two server in parallel). Their address assignments conflict. Therefore an arbitration scheme _outside_ of the X server is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document introduces the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for Linux kernel.
