[v3,2/4] fbcon: Add fbcon_modechange_possible() check

Commit Message

Helge Deller June 25, 2022, 10:06 p.m. UTC

We need to prevent that users configure a screen size which is smaller than the
currently selected font size. Otherwise rendering chars on the screen will
access memory outside the graphics memory region.

This patch adds a new function fbcon_modechange_possible() which implements
this check and which may be extended with other checks later if necessary.  The
new function will be called from the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl handler in
fbmem.c, which will then return -EINVAL to the user if the new screen size is
too small.
