From: Jiri Slaby <redacted> Date: Mon, 3 Oct 2016 11:00:17 +0200 Subject: tty: vt, fix bogus division in csi_J MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: Jiri Slaby <redacted> commit 42acfc6615f47e465731c263bee0c799edb098f2 upstream. In csi_J(3), the third parameter of scr_memsetw (vc_screenbuf_size) is divided by 2 inappropriatelly. But scr_memsetw expects size, not count, because it divides the size by 2 on its own before doing actual memset-by-words. So remove the bogus division.
