That part is handled within register_device, where a newly registered console driver will be set as /dev/console if it matches the preferred console. However, if the relevant driver is already registered, the only way to set it as /dev/console is by un-registering and re-registering it. An example is the xenfb_make_preferred_console() function: console_lock(); for_each_console(c) { if (!strcmp(c->name, "tty") && c->index == 0) break; } console_unlock(); if (c) { unregister_console(c); c->flags |= CON_CONSDEV; c->flags &= ~CON_PRINTBUFFER; /* don't print again */ register_console(c); } The code above was introduced in commit 9e124fe16ff2 ("xen: Enable console tty by default in domU if it's not a dummy"). In short, it's aim is to set VT as the preferred console only after a working framebuffer is registered and thus VT is not the dummy device. This patch introduces an update_console_to_preferred function that handles the necessary /dev/console change. With this change, the example above can be replaced with: console_lock(); add_preferred_console("tty", 0, NULL); update_console_to_preferred(); console_unlock(); More importantly, these two calls can be moved to vt.c in order to bump its priority when a non-dummy backend for it is introduced, solving that problem in general.
