Linux's DRM Panic "Screen of Death" Sees Patches For QR Code Error Messages


Linux 6.10 introduces DRM Panic for providing a new panic screen in case of kernel errors and situations where the VT support may be disabled

New patches provide for the ability to show QR codes of error messages within the DRM Panic screens. Jocelyn Falempe of Red Hat today posted the set of four patches for implementing a "qr_code" panic screen. Making this all the more interesting is the DRM Panic QR code handler being written within the Rust programming language.
