Accessing the one in fbmem.c without taking the right locks is a bad idea. Instead maintain our own private copy, which is fully protected by console_lock() (like everything else in fbcon.c). That copy is serialized through fbcon_fb_registered/unregistered() calls. Also this means we do not need to hold a full fb_info reference, which is nice because doing so would mean a refcount loop between the console and the fb_info. But it's also not nice since it means console_lock() must be held absolutely everywhere. Well strictly speaking we could still try to do some refcounting games again by calling get_fb_info before we drop the console_lock. But things will get tricky.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
