There's two minor behaviour changes in here: - in error paths we now consistently call fb_ops->fb_release - fb_release really can't fail (fbmem.c ignores it too) and there's no reasonable cleanup we can do anyway. Note that everything in fbcon.c is protected by the big console_lock() lock (especially all the global variables), so the minor changes in ordering of setup/cleanup do not matter. v2: Explain a bit better why this is all correct (Sam) Acked-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Cc: Daniel Vetter <daniel@ffwll.ch> Cc: Claudio Suarez <cssk@net-c.es> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Du Cheng <ducheng2@gmail.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20220405210335.3434130-10-daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
