Hi Archit,
Just booting 4.4-rc5+, I got this splat [1]
At first glance, this appears to be a simple fix.
However, I'm concerned that fbcon functions, which may be called with
interrupts disabled, are now hooked up to fbdev functions which may assume
interrupts are not disabled (as is the case with cfb_imageblit()).
For example, in the splat below, it's a simple fix to make the splat go
away with GFP_ATOMIC allocation. However, the following fence wait is _never_
going to trigger with interrupts disabled on UP.
FWIW, I've been running almost exclusively debug kernel builds so I'm not
sure why this hasn't triggered many times before, but it hasn't.
Regards,
Peter Hurley
