The function amdgpu_dm_crtc_mem_type_changed was dereferencing pointers returned by drm_atomic_get_plane_state without checking for errors. This could lead to undefined behavior if the function returns an error pointer. This commit adds checks using IS_ERR to ensure that new_plane_state and old_plane_state are valid before dereferencing them. Fixes the below: drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c:11486 amdgpu_dm_crtc_mem_type_changed() error: 'new_plane_state' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR() drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c 11475 static bool amdgpu_dm_crtc_mem_type_changed(struct drm_device *dev, 11476 struct drm_atomic_state *state, 11477 struct drm_crtc_state *crtc_state) 11478 { 11479 struct drm_plane *plane; 11480 struct drm_plane_state *new_plane_state, *old_plane_state; 11481 11482 drm_for_each_plane_mask(plane, dev, crtc_state->plane_mask) { 11483 new_plane_state = drm_atomic_get_plane_state(state, plane); 11484 old_plane_state = drm_atomic_get_plane_state(state, plane); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These functions can fail. 11485 --> 11486 if (old_plane_state->fb && new_plane_state->fb && 11487 get_mem_type(old_plane_state->fb) != get_mem_type(new_plane_state->fb)) 11488 return true; 11489 } 11490 11491 return false; 11492 } Fixes: 1079bd90c55b ("drm/amd/display: Do not elevate mem_type change to full update") Cc: Leo Li <sunpeng.li@xxxxxxx> Cc: Tom Chung <chiahsuan.chung@xxxxxxx> Cc: Rodrigo Siqueira <Rodrigo.Siqueira@xxxxxxx> Cc: Roman Li <roman.li@xxxxxxx> Cc: Alex Hung <alex.hung@xxxxxxx> Cc: Aurabindo Pillai <aurabindo.pillai@xxxxxxx> Cc: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Hamza Mahfooz <hamza.mahfooz@xxxxxxx> Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Srinivasan Shanmugam <srinivasan.shanmugam@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c index fe75fbced027..f3f319238763 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c @@ -11523,6 +11523,11 @@ static bool amdgpu_dm_crtc_mem_type_changed(struct drm_device *dev, new_plane_state = drm_atomic_get_plane_state(state, plane); old_plane_state = drm_atomic_get_plane_state(state, plane); + if (IS_ERR(new_plane_state) || IS_ERR(old_plane_state)) { + DRM_ERROR("Failed to get plane state for plane %s\n", plane->name); + return false; + } + if (old_plane_state->fb && new_plane_state->fb && get_mem_type(old_plane_state->fb) != get_mem_type(new_plane_state->fb)) return true; -- 2.34.1
