Commit 6067aa (drm/i915: split clock gating init into per-chipset functions) unconditionally calls the newly created init_clock_gating-pointer. There is one case, however, where it does not get set: if (HAS_PCH_SPLIT(dev)) { ... } else dev_priv->display.update_wm = NULL; } This can lead to a NULL-pointer exception as in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37252 Fix it by checking if the pointer is valid before using it.

I was going through the list of regressions and had my take on this one. Exploring new subsystems here, so hopefully it's the right direction. The other solution would be initializing the pointer to a default value, but that one I don't know. drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c index 81a9059..cf75856 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c @@ -7511,7 +7511,8 @@ void intel_init_clock_gating(struct drm_device *dev) { struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv = dev->dev_private; - dev_priv->display.init_clock_gating(dev); + if (dev_priv->display.init_clock_gating) + dev_priv->display.init_clock_gating(dev); if (dev_priv->display.init_pch_clock_gating) dev_priv->display.init_pch_clock_gating(dev); -- 1.7.2.5 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
