Subject: [kbd] [patchv2 3/3] VT: Bump font size limitation to 64x128 pixels
Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2022 01:32:12 +0100
Message-ID: <20221218003237.503424466@ens-lyon.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221218003209.503539532@ens-lyon.org>

This moves 32x32 font size limitation checking down to drivers, so that
fbcon can allow large fonts.

We still keep a limitation to 64x128 pixels so as to have a simple bounded
allocation for con_font_get and in the userland kbd tool. That glyph size
will however be enough to have 128x36 characters on a "16/9 8K display".

V1 -> V2: Switch con_font_get to kvmalloc/kvfree instead of kmalloc/kfree
