Subject: [PATCH 4.19 1/2] fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2024 18:14:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240829161419.17800-2-hsimeliere.opensource@witekio.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240829161419.17800-1-hsimeliere.opensource@witekio.com>

From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

commit e64242caef18b4a5840b0e7a9bff37abd4f4f933 upstream.

We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
access memory outside the graphics memory region.

This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which
implements this check and which later may be extended with other checks
if necessary.  The new function is called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
ioctl handler in fbmem.c, which will return -EINVAL if userspace asked
for a too small screen size.
