From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently there is no null check for a failed memory allocation on the dsb object and without this a null pointer dereference error can occur. Fix this by adding a null check. Note: added a drm_err message in keeping with the error message style in the function. Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return") Fixes: afeda4f3b1c8 ("drm/i915/dsb: Pre allocate and late cleanup of cmd buffer") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dsb.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dsb.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dsb.c index 24e6d63e2d47..566fa72427b3 100644 --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dsb.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_dsb.c @@ -271,6 +271,10 @@ void intel_dsb_prepare(struct intel_crtc_state *crtc_state) return; dsb = kmalloc(sizeof(*dsb), GFP_KERNEL); + if (!dsb) { + drm_err(&i915->drm, "DSB object creation failed\n"); + return; + } wakeref = intel_runtime_pm_get(&i915->runtime_pm); -- 2.27.0.rc0
