![]() 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.
