Subject: [PATCH] x86/sysfb_efi: Fix valid BAR address range check
Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 14:14:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462454061-21561-2-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1462454061-21561-1-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk>
From: Wang YanQing <udknight@gmail.com>
The code for checking whether a BAR address range is valid will break
out of the loop when a start address of 0x0 is encountered.
This behaviour is wrong since by breaking out of the loop we may miss
the BAR that describes the EFI frame buffer in a later iteration.
Because of this bug I can't use video=efifb: boot parameter to get
efifb on my new ThinkPad E550 for my old linux system hard disk with
3.10 kernel. In 3.10, efifb is the only choice due to DRM/I915 not
supporting the GPU.
This patch also add a trivial optimization to break out after we find
the frame buffer address range without testing later BARs.
