Mainlining rM1 #6

ayakael · 2024-08-09T15:32:34Z

Hi! I'm working on porting postmarketOS on the first reMarkable tablet, which was based on the i.MX6 platform. I've already got most of the legwork done through packaging reMarkable's branches of u-boot and the kernel, and I'm now working on getting the flash procedure down to something simpler. I would like to eventually mainline the kernel, and I was wondering if you had any pointers since you did so with the rM2. This is a first time mainlining for me, I'm more of a system administrator than a programmer.

Awesome! I always wanted to get pmOS running on the rM2, but with the way the eInk controller is setup I never had any luck.

For mainlining the kernel. First I split out all of the reMarkable patches on top of the NXP kernel. That gave me about 300 patches that reMarkable wrote. Mainline works fine on the i.MX, so you don't need the NXP patches. Although NXP does have better power saving support.

Then I squashed the patches into subsystems, while also trying to remove ones that aren't required. The idea is to get a small-ish number of large patches. I think I had about 20. Then I rebased that onto the latest mainline kernel. Hopefully the rebase isn't too hard and most features work. That gives you a good starting place.

From there it's just a matter of spiting up the patches and submitting them upstream, or removing the patch and using some new upstream mechanism instead (like the Wacom touchscreen for example).

It's mostly just a lot of testing. Try to remove something or change something and test that it doesn't break anything. You should be able to narrow the patches down to just adding drivers and the device tree. From there you can prepare for sending the patches to LKML.

As much as possible narrow down the changes on mainline to be as small as possible. A lot of the reMarkable patches aren't required, at least for the majority of functionality.

towards the in-kernel listener created by the in-kernel PM for a port based signal endpoint. Such connection will be never accepted; many of them can make the listener queue full and preventing the creation of MPJ subflow via such listener - its intended role. Explicitly detect this scenario at initial-syn time and drop the incoming MPC request.

If ufshcd_rtc_work calls ufshcd_rpm_put_sync() and the pm's usage_count is 0, we will enter the runtime suspend callback. However, the runtime suspend callback will wait to flush ufshcd_rtc_work, causing a deadlock. Replace ufshcd_rpm_put_sync() with ufshcd_rpm_put() to avoid the deadlock.
