[PATCH] efi: Downgrade "EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled" message

[PATCH] efi: Downgrade "EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled" message

[Takashi Iwai]

Since 38ac0287b7f4 ("fbdev/efifb: Honour UEFI memory map attributes
when mapping the FB"), efifb_probe() checks its memory range via
efi_mem_desc_lookup(), and this leads to a spurious error message
"EFI_MEMMAP is not enabled" at every boot on KVM.  This is quite
annoying since the error message appears even if you set "quiet" boot
option.

Actually there are only a few places that call efi_mem_desc_lookup()
function, and the other callers do give the explicit error messages
when the function returns an error in anyway.  That is, the error
message in the function is more or less moot.

So let's downgrade the error message for stop annoying users.

efifb_probe() only calls efi_mem_desc_lookup() if
screen_info.orig_video_isVGA == VIDEO_TYPE_EFI, which only gets
assigned on a EFI boot.

So even though I don't object to the patch as is, I would like to
understand where this error message is coming from, given that it
means that you are running on a UEFI system without the EFI memory
map.

Is this system booting via GRUB in EFI mode?

No, it's booted in legacy boot mode.  But the primary fb is efifb, and
that's why the message appears.

So how are we ending up with

screen_info.orig_video_isVGA == VIDEO_TYPE_EFI

??

Ah, sorry, my description was too ambiguous.

Actually our GRUB2 default setup boots the Linux kernel with linuxefi.
What I meant was that I invoked qemu-kvm without any -bios option, so
it's no EFI BIOS.

Some from the link here

https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/864184/file/journal_check-full_journal.log

I got

So if we are doing legacy, there is something else that is taking,
GRUB perhaps, that is taking the framebuffer parameters and putting
them in screen_info and marking them as VIDEO_TYPE_EFI.

If this is a reasonable thing to do, it implies that the efifb driver
may run on otherwise non-EFI systems, and if this is the case, I'd
rather fix it like this:

diff --git a/drivers/video/fbdev/efifb.c b/drivers/video/fbdev/efifb.c

                        pr_err("efifb: video memory @ 0x%lx spans
multiple EFI memory regions\n",

Could you please confirm whether this works around the issue as well?
