[PATCH] amdgpu_dm: fix nonblocking atomic commit use-after-free

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail is running in the workqueue,
drm_atomic_state_put will get called while amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail is
running, causing a race condition where state (and then dm_state) is
sometimes freed while amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail is running. This bug has
occurred since 5.7-rc1 and is well documented among polaris11 users [1].

Prior to 5.7, this was not a noticeable issue since the freelist pointer
was stored at the beginning of dm_state (base), which was unused. After
changing the freelist pointer to be stored in the middle of the struct, the
freelist pointer overwrote the context, causing dc_state to become garbage
data and made the call to dm_enable_per_frame_crtc_master_sync dereference
a freelist pointer.

This patch fixes the aforementioned issue by calling drm_atomic_state_get
in amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit before drm_atomic_helper_commit is called and
drm_atomic_state_put after amdgpu_dm_atomic_commit_tail is complete.

According to my testing on 5.8.0-rc6, this should fix bug 207383 on
Bugzilla [1].
