[PATCH 0/3] drm/panic: Remove build time dependency with FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When proposing to enable DRM_PANIC on Fedora, some users raised concern about the need to disable VT_CONSOLE.
So this is my new attempt to avoid fbcon/vt_console to overwrite the panic screen.
This time it doesn't involve any locking, so it should be safe.
I added a skip_panic option in struct fb_info, and check if this option and the panic_cpu are set in fb_is_inactive(), to prevent any framebuffer operation.
Also skip_panic is only true if the drm driver supports drm_panic, so you will still get the VT panic info on drivers that don't have drm_panic support yet.

Jocelyn Falempe (3):
  drm/panic: Add drm_panic_is_enabled()
  fbcon: Add an option to disable fbcon in panic.
  drm/panic: Remove build time dependency with FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
