[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 16/62] fbdev/core: Disable console-lock warnings when fb.lockless_register_fb is set

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

 



From: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3f2ce54284a60500eb6dca1dca6fd615df8f9aa3 ]

If the console is unlocked during registration, the console subsystem
generates significant amounts of warnings, which obfuscate actual
debugging messages. Setting ignore_console_lock_warning while debugging
console registration avoid the noise.

v3:
	- manipulate ignore_console_lock_warning with atomic_{inc,dec}
v2:
	- restore ignore_console_lock_warning if lock_fb_info() fails
