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);

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.
