After memory allocation failure vc_allocate() doesn't clean up data which has been initialized in visual_init(). In case of fbcon this leads to divide-by-0 in fbcon_init() on next open of the same tty. memory allocation in vc_allocate() may fail here: 1097: vc->vc_screenbuf = kzalloc(vc->vc_screenbuf_size, GFP_KERNEL); on next open() fbcon_init() skips vc_font.data initialization: 1088: if (!p->fontdata) { division by zero in fbcon_init() happens here: 1149: new_cols /= vc->vc_font.width; Additional check is needed in fbcon_deinit() to prevent usage of uninitialized vc_screenbuf: 1251: if (vc->vc_hi_font_mask && vc->vc_screenbuf) 1252: set_vc_hi_font(vc, false); Crash: #6 [ffffc90001eafa60] divide_error at ffffffff81a00be4 [exception RIP: fbcon_init+463] RIP: ffffffff814b860f RSP: ffffc90001eafb18 RFLAGS: 00010246 ... #7 [ffffc90001eafb60] visual_init at ffffffff8154c36e #8 [ffffc90001eafb80] vc_allocate at ffffffff8154f53c #9 [ffffc90001eafbc8] con_install at ffffffff8154f624 ...

README
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.
