Each driver has its own restrictions on font size. There is currently no
way to understand what the requirements are. The new ioctl allows
userspace to get the minimum and maximum font size values.

Is there any userspace code that uses this yet that we can point to
here?

I know tty ioctls are woefully undocumented, but could there be some
documentation here?

Shouldn't con_font_info() memset it first?  No need to do it in the
caller.

To make the names more obvious, how about:
	con_font_info_get()?

I don't understand why bit 0 and bit 1 have those comments after them.
That's confusing (i.e. bit 0 is NOT 256...)

Why are there flags if you are only setting these 2 values?  What are
the flags for?

If this is going to be a "multiplexed" type of structure, then make it a
union?  Or maybe we are totally over thinking this whole thing.

All you want is the min/max font size of the console, right?  So perhaps
the whole structure is just:

> +	__u32 min_width, min_height;	/* minimal font size */
> +	__u32 max_width, max_height;	/* maximum font size */

Those 4 variables?  Why have anything else here at all?  For any new
thing you wish to discover, have it be a new ioctl?

> +	__u32 reserved[5];		/* This field is reserved for future use. Must be 0. */

I understand the "must be 0" but this is a read-only structure, so
saying "it will be set to 0" might be better?"  Or something like that?

As mentioned above how about KDFONTINFOGET?

Yes. I have a code that uses this. It waits for this ioctl to appear in
the kernel.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/legion/kbd.git/commit/?h=kdfontinfo-v1&id=e2ad0117ca8e46cedd8668934db7b04e9054d5d7

> I know tty ioctls are woefully undocumented, but could there be some
> documentation here?

Yes, this is a big problem for this interface. The ioctl_console(2)
describes PIO_FONT/PIO_FONTX, which is no longer supported, but does not
describe KDFONTOP at all, which is exactly used by userspace.

My TODO has a task to fix this.

But I would suggest creating documentation in the kernel because life
shows that man-page is far behind what is implemented.

I think there was no technical limitation when I added that.
It's just that the font would be so small...

Ok.
