Daniel Vetter efc3acbc10 fbcon: Maintain a private array of fb_info
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.
