From df37e225f25933732c17e43cbe7d21eec31b24be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede Date: Fri, 10 Aug 2018 17:23:02 +0200 Subject: fbcon: Do not takeover the console from atomic context Taking over the console involves allocating mem with GFP_KERNEL, talking to drm drivers, etc. So this should not be done from an atomic context. But the console-output trigger deferred console takeover may happen from an atomic context, which leads to "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" errors. This commit fixes these errors by doing the deferred takeover from a workqueue.
