Version: 5.19-rc5 In function 'via_do_init_map' (drivers/gpu/drm/via/via_map.c: 54) 'drm_legacy_findmap' can return NULL pointer. If that happens,it calls 'via_do_cleanup_map' (drivers/gpu/drm/via/via_map.c: 58). --------------------------------------------------------------------- 54 dev_priv->mmio = drm_legacy_findmap(dev, init->mmio_offset); 55 if (!dev_priv->mmio) { 56 DRM_ERROR("could not find mmio region!\n"); 57 dev->dev_private = (void *)dev_priv; 58 via_do_cleanup_map(dev); 59 return -EINVAL; 60 } --------------------------------------------------------------------- 'via_do_cleanup' functions calls 'via_dma_cleanup'(drivers/gpu/drm/via/via_map.c: 78). --------------------------------------------------------------------- 76 int via_do_cleanup_map(struct drm_device *dev) 77 { 78 via_dma_cleanup(dev); 79 80 return 0; 81 } --------------------------------------------------------------------- In 'via_dma_cleanup' there is another conditional construction (drivers/gpu/drm/via/via_dma.c: 168). --------------------------------------------------------------------- 168 if (dev_priv->ring.virtual_start) { 169 via_cmdbuf_reset(dev_priv); 170 171 drm_legacy_ioremapfree(&dev_priv->ring.map, dev); 172 dev_priv->ring.virtual_start = NULL; 173 } --------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems like there are two possible ways: 1) dev_priv->ring.virtual_start != 0. In that case function call chain happens: 'via_cmdbuf_reset', 'via_cmdbuf_flush', 'via_hook_segment' and 'via_read' (drivers/gpu/drm/via/via_drv.h: 124). In 'via_read' dereferencing of "dev_priv->mmio" happens, which is NULL. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 124 static inline u32 via_read(struct drm_via_private *dev_priv, u32 reg) 125 { 126 return readl((void __iomem *)(dev_priv->mmio->handle + reg)); 127 } --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) dev_priv->ring.virtual_start == 0. Then all function calls located inside conditional construction (drivers/gpu/drm/via/via_dma.c: 168) do not happen. Thus, if dev_priv->mmio == NULL, call of 'via_do_cleanup_map' (drivers/gpu/drm/via/via_map.c: 58) may result in either an error or nothing at all. Should we remove call to via_do_cleanup_map(dev) or should we somehow avoid NULL pointer dereference in 'via_read'?
