Subject: [PATCH 5.10.y] fbdev: bitblit: Fix glyph clipping when fbcon pans
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 21:45:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111024445.737333-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261107062710-failed-5.10-06fccf840640@kernel.org>

[ Upstream commit 06fccf840640d8f6b0e08a1756f8d2f0435b4cbe ]

Commit 3637d34b35b2 ("fbdev: Add bounds checking in bit_putcs to fix
vmalloc-out-of-bounds") made bit_putcs() clip glyphs to var.yres. When
fbcon scrolls by panning, it draws text rows up to var.yres_virtual,
so after the first pan most new text is not drawn until the next full
redraw. This affects fbdev drivers that set FBINFO_HWACCEL_YPAN or
FBINFO_HWACCEL_YWRAP, such as vesafb with the ypan option, when
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_LEGACY_ACCELERATION=y.

Clip to GETVYRES() instead, which fbcon_ud.c and fbcon_ccw.c already
use as the drawing area height. When fbcon does not pan, GETVYRES()
returns var.yres, keeping the existing bound. When fbcon pans, it
returns var.yres_virtual, which the framebuffer memory must cover
anyway for panning to work.
