Because the only user of uvesafb_vbe_getpmi in uvesafb.c don't check its return value, it should do the check indeed, so maybe below change is better: - if ((task->t.regs.eax & 0xffff) != 0x4f || task->t.regs.es < 0xc000) { + if (err || (task->t.regs.eax & 0xffff) != 0x4f || task->t.regs.es < 0xc000) { par->pmi_setpal = par->ypan = 0; } Or we check uvesafb_vbe_getpmi's return value, then the code will looks like below: if (uvesafb_vbe_getpmi(task, par)) par->pmi_setpal = par->ypan = 0; Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
