Hi Folks,
I know this thread eventually dropped off due to not identifying
the underlying issue. It's still occuring on 5.8 and in my case it
happened because the udev device nodes for the DP aux devices were not
cleaned up whereas the kernel had no association with them. I can
reproduce the bug just by creating a device node for a non-existent minor
device and calling open().
To me it still makes sense to just check aux_dev because the chardev has
no way to check before calling.
(gdb) list *drm_dp_aux_dev_get_by_minor+0x29
0x17b39 is in drm_dp_aux_dev_get_by_minor (drivers/gpu/drm/drm_dp_aux_dev.c:65).

65 aux_dev = idr_find(&aux_idr, index);
66 if (!kref_get_unless_zero(&aux_dev->refcount))
67 aux_dev = NULL;
68 mutex_unlock(&aux_idr_mutex);

(gdb) p/x &((struct drm_dp_aux_dev *)(0x0))->refcount
$8 = 0x18
static int auxdev_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
{
unsigned int minor = iminor(inode);
struct drm_dp_aux_dev *aux_dev;
aux_dev = drm_dp_aux_dev_get_by_minor(minor);
if (!aux_dev)
return -ENODEV;
file->private_data = aux_dev;
return 0;
}
