The recent fix for the deferred I/O by the commit3efc61d952("fbdev: Fix invalid page access after closing deferred I/O devices") caused a regression when the same fb device is opened/closed while it's being used. It resulted in a frozen screen even if something is redrawn there after the close. The breakage is because the patch was made under a wrong assumption of a single open; in the current code, fb_deferred_io_release() cleans up the page mapping of the pageref list and it calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() unconditionally, where both are no correct behavior for multiple opens. This patch adds a refcount for the opens of the device, and applies the cleanup only when all files get closed. As both fb_deferred_io_open() and _close() are called always in the fb_info lock (mutex), it's safe to use the normal int for the refcounting. Also, a useless BUG_ON() is dropped.

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.
