This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/amd/display: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in amdgpu_dm_connector_add_common_modes() to the 5.17-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: drm-amd-display-fix-a-null-pointer-dereference-in-am.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c6bcf130a8e78dcf8c044839264b505ac40bdf69 Author: Zhou Qingyang <zhou1615@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jan 25 00:57:29 2022 +0800 drm/amd/display: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in amdgpu_dm_connector_add_common_modes() [ Upstream commit 588a70177df3b1777484267584ef38ab2ca899a2 ] In amdgpu_dm_connector_add_common_modes(), amdgpu_dm_create_common_mode() is assigned to mode and is passed to drm_mode_probed_add() directly after that. drm_mode_probed_add() passes &mode->head to list_add_tail(), and there is a dereference of it in list_add_tail() without recoveries, which could lead to NULL pointer dereference on failure of amdgpu_dm_create_common_mode(). Fix this by adding a NULL check of mode. This bug was found by a static analyzer. Builds with 'make allyesconfig' show no new warnings, and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
