This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled tty/vt: don't set font mappings on vc not supporting this to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt2. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 5a43fa78515cd677e359c3f5bf2643a4485c4369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2014 16:34:31 +0300 Subject: tty/vt: don't set font mappings on vc not supporting this commit 9e326f78713a4421fe11afc2ddeac07698fac131 upstream. We can call this function for a dummy console that doesn't support setting the font mapping, which will result in a null ptr BUG. So check for this case and return error for consoles w/o font mapping support.
