A reference to the framebuffer device struct fb_info is stored in the file private data, but this reference could no longer be valid and must not be accessed directly. Instead, the file_fb_info() accessor function must be used since it does sanity checking to make sure that the fb_info is valid. This can happen for example if the registered framebuffer device is for a driver that just uses a framebuffer provided by the system firmware. In that case, the fbdev core would unregister the framebuffer device when a real video driver is probed and ask to remove conflicting framebuffers. The bug has been present for a long time but commit |
