[PATCH] drm/amdgpu/display: Fix dc_sink refcnt leak in dc_link_detect_helper

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

 



dc_link_detect_helper() invokes dc_sink_retain(), which increases the
refcount of the "prev_sink".

When dc_link_detect_helper() returns, local variable "prev_sink" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
dc_link_detect_helper(). When alt mode times out, the function forgets
to decrease the refcnt increased by dc_sink_retain(), causing a refcnt
leak.

Fix this issue by calling dc_sink_release() when alt mode times out.
