Hi,

diff --git a/drivers/video/hyperv_fb.c b/drivers/video/hyperv_fb.c indexb7b3dd0..1b11886 100644--- a/drivers/video/hyperv_fb.c +++ b/drivers/video/hyperv_fb.c@@ -683,6 +683,7 @@ static int hvfb_getmem(struct fb_info *info) info->apertures->ranges[0].base = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0); info->apertures->ranges[0].size = pci_resource_len(pdev, 0); } + remove_conflicting_framebuffers(info->apertures,KBUILD_MODNAME, +false);Thanks for the updates. I'm concerned about, after removing efifb, if synthvid_send_config(hdev) fails, then there will be no video driver available.
That may happen, yes.
Is there a way to bring the generic driver back if synthvid_send_config(hdev) fails?
Not that I know of.
If no way to recover the generic driver, please limit the early remove_conflicting_framebuffers() to Gen2 VM only.
I'll send updated patches once they are tested. cheers, Gerd
