Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fbcon: fix situation where fbcon gets deinitialised and can't reinit.
Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2010 01:41:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1292895677-4242-4-git-send-email-airlied@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1292895677-4242-1-git-send-email-airlied@gmail.com>
From: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>
Situation as follow:
2 GPUs + vesafb + kms.
GPU 1 is primary, vesafb binds to it as fb0
radeon loads
GPU 0 loads as fb1
GPU 1 loads, vesafb gets kicked off which causes fb0 to unbind
console, which causes the dummy console to rebind.
this means fbcon_deinit gets called, which calls fbcon_exit
since the console isn't bound anymore and we set fbcon_has_exited.
GPU 1 creates a new fb0 which is primary and we want to be console.
fbcon_fb_registered gets called sets the primary up and calls set_con2fb_map,
however as fbcon_has_exited is set nothing further ever happens.
This patch bypasses the fbcon_has_exited and checks if the console is unbound,
if its unbound it calls the fbcon_takeover which calls the vt layer to
call the fbcon_startup method and everthing works.
