    drm/fbdev: Return -EBUSY when oopsing · c50bfd08
    Daniel Vetter authored
    Trying to do anything with kms drivers when oopsing has become a
    failing proposition. But since we can end up in the fbdev code simply
    due to the console unblanking that's done unconditionally just
    removing our panic handler isn't enough. We need to block all fbdev
    callbacks when oopsing.
    
    There was already one in the blank handler, but it failed silently.
    That makes it impossible for drivers (like i915) who subclass these
    functions to figure this out.
    
    Instead consistently return -EBUSY so that everyone knows that we
    really don't want to be bothered right now. This also allows us to
    remove a pile of FIXMEs from the i915 fbdev code (since due to the
    failure code they now won't attempt to grab dangerous locks any more).
