Ok, I have actual insight on this one here, and I'm pretty sure this isn't the fix. Looking at the syzkaller splat we have a recursion of the form fb_ioctl -> fb_set_var -> fbcon_update_vcs -> fbcon_resize -> fb_set_var Which isn't supposed to be happening. I've dug around recently in fbcon code, and this is a fairly common issue: You can update fbcon state both from fb_ioctl, but also from the vc side. To avoid the above recursion problems the code is using FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT, and should only set that from fb_ioctl entry points. That's all fairly fragile, so I've done a bit of reworking, e.g. commit de29ae5c092bd9a5360cfabf174b0f783248d278 Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vet...@ffwll.ch> Date: Tue May 28 11:02:56 2019 +0200 fbmem: pull fbcon_fb_blanked out of fb_blank as an example. I think doing the same for fb_set_var, i.e. only calling fbcon_update_vcs for the 3 callers that want it, should fix this recursion. I think that's the much more robust fix instead of trying to paper over the fallout of this recursion here and everywhere else. Can you look into reworking your patch like that?
