hide_splash() should be the counter-part of show_splash(). show_splash() calls ply_device_manager_activate_renderers() (through show_theme()). 2 of the 3 callers of hide_splash() are already calling ply_device_manager_deactivate_renderers() directly before calling hide_splash(). This commit moves the deactivate call into hide_splash() so that it also gets called from the 3th code-path, which is when the user hits the escape to key to toggle from the splash to details. It's important that plymouth deactivates its renderers before going to details, because those renderers can block the kernel from initializing fbcon, which the kernel will start doing lazily in the future: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/6/26/489.

plymouth - graphical boot animation and logger Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers. The idea is that early on in the boot process the native mode for the computer is set, plymouth uses that mode, and that mode stays throughout the entire boot process up to and after X starts. Ideally, the goal is to get rid of all flicker during startup. For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls back to text mode (it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface). In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely occluded. After the root file system is mounted read-write, the messages are dumped to /var/log/boot.log. Also, the user can see the messages at any time during boot up by hitting the escape key. Plymouth isn't really designed to be built from source by end users. For it to work correctly, it needs integration with the distribution. Because it starts so early, it needs to be packed into the distribution's initial ram disk, and the distribution needs to poke plymouth to tell it how boot is progressing. plymouth ships with two binaries: /sbin/plymouthd and /bin/plymouth The first one, plymouthd, does all the heavy lifting. It logs the session and shows the splash screen. The second one, /bin/plymouth, is the control interface to plymouthd. It supports things like plymouth show-splash, or plymouth ask-for-password, which trigger the associated action in plymouthd. Plymouth supports various "splash" themes which are analogous to screensavers, but happen at boot time. There are several sample themes shipped with plymouth, but most distributions that use plymouth ship something customized for their distribution. Plymouth isn't done yet. It's still under active development, but is used in several popular distros already, including Fedora, Mandriva, Ubuntu and others. See the distributions page for more information.
