Catalin and kmemleak spotted a leak of a VC screen buffer in
vc_allocate() due to the following chain of events:
vc_allocate()
visual_init(init=1)
vc->vc_sw->con_init(init=1)
fbcon_init()
vc_resize()
vc->screen_buf = kmalloc()
vc->screen_buf = kmalloc()
The common way for the VC drivers is to set the screen dimension
parameters manually in the init case and only call vc_resize() for
!init - which allocates a screen buffer according to the new
dimensions.
fbcon instead would do vc_resize() unconditionally and afterwards set
the dimensions manually (again) for !init - i.e. completely upside
down. The vc_resize() allocated buffer would then get lost by
vc_allocate() allocating a fresh one.
Use vc_resize() only for actual resizing to close the leak.
Set the dimensions manually only in initialization mode to remove the
redundant setting in resize mode.
The kmemleak trace from Catalin:
