vgacon_scrollback_update() always leaves enbough room in the scrollback buffer for the next call, but if the console size changed that room might not actually be enough, and so we need to re-check. The check should be in the loop since vgacon_scrollback_cur->tail is updated in the loop and count may be more than 1 when triggered by CSI M, as Jiri's PoC: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <fcntl.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { int fd = open("/dev/tty1", O_RDWR); unsigned short size[3] = {25, 200, 0}; ioctl(fd, 0x5609, size); // VT_RESIZE write(fd, "\e[1;1H", 6); for (int i = 0; i < 30; i++) write(fd, "\e[10M", 5); } It leads to various crashes as vgacon_scrollback_update writes out of the buffer: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc900001752a0 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page RIP: 0010:mutex_unlock+0x13/0x30 ...

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.
