Commit 27a4c827 ("fbcon: use the cursor blink interval provided by vt") unconditionally removes the cursor blink timer. Unfortunately that wreaks havoc under some circumstances. An easily reproducible way is to use both the framebuffer console and a debug serial port as the console output for kernel messages (e.g. "console=ttyS0 console=tty1" on the kernel command-line. Upon boot this triggers a warning from within the del_timer_sync() function because it is called from IRQ context: [ 5.070096] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 5.070110] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at ../kernel/time/timer.c:1098 del_timer_sync+0x4c/0x54() [ 5.070115] Modules linked in: [ 5.070120] CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.1.0-rc4-next-20150519 #1 [ 5.070123] Hardware name: SAMSUNG EXYNOS (Flattened Device Tree) [ 5.070142] [] (unwind_backtrace) from [] (show_stack+0x10/0x14) [ 5.070156] [] (show_stack) from [] (dump_stack+0x70/0xbc) [ 5.070164] [] (dump_stack) from [] (warn_slowpath_common+0x74/0xb0) [ 5.070169] [] (warn_slowpath_common) from [] (warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x24) [ 5.070174] [] (warn_slowpath_null) from [] (del_timer_sync+0x4c/0x54) [ 5.070183] [] (del_timer_sync) from [] (fbcon_del_cursor_timer+0x2c/0x40) [ 5.070190] [] (fbcon_del_cursor_timer) from [] (fbcon_cursor+0x9c/0x180) [ 5.070198] [] (fbcon_cursor) from [] (hide_cursor+0x30/0x98) [ 5.070204] [] (hide_cursor) from [] (vt_console_print+0x2a8/0x340) [ 5.070212] [] (vt_console_print) from [] (call_console_drivers.constprop.23+0xc8/0xec) [ 5.070218] [] (call_console_drivers.constprop.23) from [] (console_unlock+0x498/0x4f0) [ 5.070223] [] (console_unlock) from [] (vprintk_emit+0x1f0/0x508) [ 5.070228] [] (vprintk_emit) from [] (vprintk_default+0x24/0x2c) [ 5.070234] [] (vprintk_default) from [] (printk+0x70/0x88) After which the system starts spewing all kinds of weird and seemingly unrelated error messages. This commit fixes this by restoring the condition under which the call to fbcon_del_cursor_timer() happens.
