[PATCH v2 06/11] fblog: open fb on registration

From: David Herrmann
Date: Sun Jul 08 2012 - 17:58:30 EST


This opens the framebuffer upon registration so we can use it for
drawing-operations. On unregistration we close it again.

To avoid deadlocks, we need to tell fblog_open/close() whether the
framebuffer is currently locked. This is because some fb-notifiers are
called with the lock held and others without it. We cannot release it in
the notifier as this might confuse other registered callbacks if they
actually depend on the lock to be continously held (such a callback is
currently no available in the kernel, but may be added some time later).
