Subject: [Patch] console: limit the range of VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE
Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2009 21:40:32 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091225024340.4431.59297.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
BuraphaLinux reported that we will trigger a mm warning when
we CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE=65536, this is because
mm cann't allocate so many pages. We should limit the range
of CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE, don't give a user
any chance to trigger that.
