    fbcon: Prevent that screen size is smaller than font size · e64242ca
    Helge Deller authored
    We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
    currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
    access memory outside the graphics memory region.
    
    This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which
    implements this check and which later may be extended with other checks
    if necessary.  The new function is called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
    ioctl handler in fbmem.c, which will return -EINVAL if userspace asked
    for a too small screen size.
