Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y] fbcon: Rebuild rotated font buffer on font change
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 13:56:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111185622.3920273-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107053748-failed-6.6-e4b6b865d45d@kernel.org>

From: Yao Yiqi <yaoyiqi3@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit e4b6b865d45d8dafb6c6f28c8a993a5b4431d25a ]

fbcon_rotate_font() caches a rotated copy of the console font in
par->rotated.buf. The buffer is sized from the font's width, height
and charcount, and is rebuilt in fbcon_init(), fbcon_switch() and
fbcon_modechanged(), but not in fbcon_do_set_font().

When the font is changed through KDFONTOP, the new geometry is
installed and vc_resize() redraws before the buffer is rebuilt. The
rotated putcs/cursor ops then index the old buffer with the new cell
size; KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds read in soft_cursor().

Rebuild the buffer for the visible console before the redraw, as the
other callers do: select the console's blitting state with
set_blitting_type() (which also uploads the new font's map on
tile-blitting hardware), then rebuild. Background consoles keep
their rebuild at fbcon_switch() time, as the buffer is shared per
framebuffer and must not be updated for a console that is not being
displayed.

To ensure a correct rollback when the rebuild or the following
vc_resize() fails, save the rotated font state, clear it before
rebuilding, and restore it in the error path of
fbcon_do_set_font().
