From 12c3680a16b73ecd431346526b7f650237971871 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tomi Valkeinen Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2014 13:40:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] video/logo: prevent use of logos after they have been freed commit 92b004d1aa9f367c372511ca0330f58216b25703 upstream. If the probe of an fb driver has been deferred due to missing dependencies, and the probe is later ran when a module is loaded, the fbdev framework will try to find a logo to use. However, the logos are __initdata, and have already been freed. This causes sometimes page faults, if the logo memory is not mapped, sometimes other random crashes as the logo data is invalid, and sometimes nothing, if the fbdev decides to reject the logo (e.g. the random value depicting the logo's height is too big). This patch adds a late_initcall function to mark the logos as freed. In reality the logos are freed later, and fbdev probe may be ran between this late_initcall and the freeing of the logos. In that case we will miss drawing the logo, even if it would be possible.
