The logic around the variable @has_preferred_console made my head spin many times. Part of the problem is the ambiguous name. There is the variable @preferred_console. It points to the last non-braille console in @console_cmdline array. This array contains consoles preferred via the command line, device tree, or SPCR. Then there is the variable @has_preferred_console. It is set to "true" when @preferred_console is enabled or when a console with tty binding gets enabled by default. It might get reset back by the magic condition: if (!has_preferred_console || bcon || !console_drivers) has_preferred_console = preferred_console >= 0; It is a puzzle. Dumb explanation is that it gets re-evaluated when: + it was not set before (see above when it gets set) + there is still an early console enabled (bcon) + there is no console enabled (!console_drivers) This is still a puzzle. It gets more clear when we see where the value is checked. The only meaning of the variable is to decide whether we should try to enable the new console by default. Rename the variable according to the single situation where the value is checked. The rename requires an inverted logic. Otherwise, it is a simple search & replace. It does not change the functionality.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
