Hi Ming,
Not sure this one is needed for stable because it justs dumps a warning, and not set a valid period to ops->cur_blink_jiffies. So I guess other fix patch is still required for the soft lockup issue, right?
The main thing is that we don't set cur_blink_jiffies to the < 50ms value. As far as I can tell, it means we'll still get the original default, set in fbcon_startup(): ops->cur_blink_jiffies = HZ / 5; And so don't end up spinning on the timer expiry. Cheers, Jeremy
