This is a regressoin introduced inb07db39584("fbcon: Ditch error handling for con2fb_release_oldinfo"). I failed to realize what the if (!err) checks. The mentioned commit was dropping the con2fb_release_oldinfo() return value but the if (!err) was also checking whether the con2fb_acquire_newinfo() function call above failed or not. Fix this with an early return statement. Note that there's still a difference compared to the orginal state of the code, the below lines are now also skipped on error: if (!search_fb_in_map(info_idx)) info_idx = newidx; These are only needed when we've actually thrown out an old fb_info from the console mappings, which only happens later on. Also move the fbcon_add_cursor_work() call into the same if block, it's all protected by console_lock so doesn't matter when we set up the blinking cursor delayed work anyway. This further simplifies the control flow and allows us to ditch the found local variable. v2: Clarify commit message (Javier) Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Tested-by: Xingyuan Mo <hdthky0@gmail.com> Fixes:b07db39584("fbcon: Ditch error handling for con2fb_release_oldinfo") Cc: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Xingyuan Mo <hdthky0@gmail.com> Cc: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Cc: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v5.19+
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.
