This functionally undoes 39aead8373b3 ("fbcon: Disable accelerated scrolling"), but behind the FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_LEGACY_ACCELERATION option.
you have two trivial copy-n-paste errors in this patch which still prevent the console acceleration.
Duh :-(
But before we dig into details I think the big picture would be better. I honestly don't like the #ifdef pile here that much.
Me neither. The ifdefs give a better separation, but prevents that the compiler checks the various paths when building.
I wonder whether your approach, also with GETVX/YRES adjusted somehow, wouldn't look cleaner?
I think so. You wouldn't even need to touch GETVX/YRES because the compiler will optimize/reduce it from
#define GETVYRES(s,i) ({ \ (s == SCROLL_REDRAW || s == SCROLL_MOVE) ? \ (i)->var.yres : (i)->var.yres_virtual; })
to just become:
#define GETVYRES(s,i) ((i)->var.yres)
Like I said in the cover letter I got mostly distracted with fbcon locking last week, not really with this one here at all, so maybe going with your 4 (or 2 if we squash them like I did here) patches is neater?
The benefit of my patch series was, that it could be easily backported first, and then cleaned up afterwards. Even a small additional backport patch to disable the fbcon acceleration for DRM in the old releases would be easy. But I'm not insisting on backporting the patches, if we find good way forward.
So, either with the 4 (or 2) patches would be OK for me (or even your approach).
