Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 19:13:18 -0700 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Francisco Jerez <currojerez@...eup.net>, qiaochong <qiaochong@...ngson.cn>, Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...e.de>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, Alan Cox <alan@...ux.intel.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/5] vt: Fix console corruption on driver hand-over. From: Francisco Jerez <currojerez@...eup.net> After 02f0777a0d6560eb995aade34a1b82f95c0452da "vc_origin" is no longer reset to the screen buffer before calling the con_init() hook of the new console driver. If the old driver wasn't using a fixed scanout buffer (e.g. the case of vgacon) "vc_origin" may be a pointer to a VRAM location, and its contents aren't guaranteed to be preserved after calling con_deinit() on the old driver and con_init() on the new driver, i.e. the subsequent console resize may fill the framebuffer with garbage. It can be reproduced in the transition from vgacon to the nouveau framebuffer driver: in that case the legacy VGA aperture "vc_origin" points to becomes unreadable after fbcon_init(). This patch reverts the mentioned commit. To avoid the problem it intended to fix, stop using "vc_scr_end" in vc_do_resize() to calculate how many rows we have to copy (actually the code looks simpler this way without the help of "vc_scr_end").
