Since fb_helper is not a pointer on rockchip_drm_private, it's no need to check pointer. Kms hotplug event may race into fbdev helper initial, and fb_helper->dev may be NULL pointer, that would cause the bug: [ 0.735411] [00000200] *pgd=00000000f6ffe003, *pud=00000000f6ffe003, *pmd=0000000000000000 [ 0.736156] Internal error: Oops: 96000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 0.736648] Modules linked in: [ 0.736930] CPU: 2 PID: 20 Comm: kworker/2:0 Not tainted 4.4.41 #20 [ 0.737480] Hardware name: Rockchip RK3399 Board rev2 (BOX) (DT) [ 0.738020] Workqueue: events cdn_dp_pd_event_work [ 0.738447] task: ffffffc0f21f3100 ti: ffffffc0f2218000 task.ti: ffffffc0f2218000 [ 0.739109] PC is at mutex_lock+0x14/0x44 [ 0.739469] LR is at drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event+0x30/0x114 [ 0.756253] [<ffffff8008a344f4>] mutex_lock+0x14/0x44 [ 0.756260] [<ffffff8008445708>] drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event+0x30/0x114 [ 0.756271] [<ffffff8008473c84>] rockchip_drm_output_poll_changed+0x18/0x20 [ 0.756280] [<ffffff8008439fcc>] drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event+0x28/0x34 [ 0.756286] [<ffffff800846c444>] cdn_dp_pd_event_work+0x394/0x3c4 [ 0.756295] [<ffffff80080b2b38>] process_one_work+0x218/0x3e0 [ 0.756302] [<ffffff80080b3538>] worker_thread+0x2e8/0x404 [ 0.756308] [<ffffff80080b7e70>] kthread+0xe8/0xf0 [ 0.756316] [<ffffff8008082690>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40 Signed-off-by: Mark Yao <mark.yao@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_fb.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_fb.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_fb.c index 81f9548..e6bd0f4 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_fb.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/rockchip/rockchip_drm_fb.c @@ -170,7 +170,7 @@ static void rockchip_drm_output_poll_changed(struct drm_device *dev) struct rockchip_drm_private *private = dev->dev_private; struct drm_fb_helper *fb_helper = &private->fbdev_helper; - if (fb_helper) + if (fb_helper->dev) drm_fb_helper_hotplug_event(fb_helper); } -- 1.9.1 _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
