In drm_client_modeset_probe(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to modeset->mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd. Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: cf13909aee05 ("drm/fb-helper: Move out modeset config code") Signed-off-by: Ma Ke <make24@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v4: - modified patch, set ret and break to handle error rightly. Changes in v3: - modified patch as suggestions, returned error directly when failing to get modeset->mode. Changes in v2: - added the recipient's email address, due to the prolonged absence of a response from the recipients. - added Cc stable. --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_client_modeset.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_client_modeset.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_client_modeset.c index 31af5cf37a09..cee5eafbfb81 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_client_modeset.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_client_modeset.c @@ -880,6 +880,11 @@ int drm_client_modeset_probe(struct drm_client_dev *client, unsigned int width, kfree(modeset->mode); modeset->mode = drm_mode_duplicate(dev, mode); + if (!modeset->mode) { + ret = -ENOMEM; + break; + } + drm_connector_get(connector); modeset->connectors[modeset->num_connectors++] = connector; modeset->x = offset->x; -- 2.25.1
