commit33cd6ea9c0upstream. When framebuffer gets closed, the queued deferred IO gets cancelled. This can cause some last display data to vanish. This is problematic for users who send a still image to the framebuffer, then close the file: the image may never appear. To ensure none of display data get lost, flush the queued deferred IO first before closing. Another possible solution is to delete the cancel_delayed_work_sync() instead. The difference is that the display may appear some time after closing. However, the clearing of page mapping after this needs to be removed too, because the page mapping is used by the deferred work. It is not completely obvious whether it is okay to not clear the page mapping. For a patch intended for stable trees, go with the simple and obvious solution.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
