While using "top" on a CentOS guest's VNC-client, then continuously press
"Shift+PgUp", the guest kernel will get panic! Backtrace is attached below.
We tested it on 5.2.0, and the issue remains.

>From our non-expert analysis, fbcon ypos will sometimes over boundary and
then fbcon_putcs() access invalid VGA framebuffer address. We modify the
real_y() to make sure fbcon ypos is always less than rows.

Hi Bartlomiej,

Zengruan had reported this issue [1] but received no reply. Does it make

Thanks,
