From f418f2ec440ab8c014f37539ef0b19271afb1186 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 16:33:24 +0200 Subject: vt: Don't ignore unbind errors in vt_unbind Otherwise the loop will never stop since we don't make any forward progress. Noticed while breaking this accidentally in a painful attempt to make vga_con unregistering work. With this patch we'll bail out on the first attempt, which at least leaves a useful enough system behind for debugging. Livelocks on console_lock just aren't fun.
