This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in drm_vblank_destroy_worker() to the 5.15-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-fix-potential-null-ptr-deref-in-drm_vblank_destr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7d6d31457b3624de4aeac0f41b20bcc8731935b6 Author: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 1 15:07:16 2022 +0800 drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in drm_vblank_destroy_worker() [ Upstream commit 4979524f5a2a8210e87fde2f642b0dc060860821 ] drm_vblank_init() call drmm_add_action_or_reset() with drm_vblank_init_release() as action. If __drmm_add_action() failed, will directly call drm_vblank_init_release() with the vblank whose worker is NULL. As the resule, a null-ptr-deref will happen in kthread_destroy_worker(). Add the NULL check before calling drm_vblank_destroy_worker().
