This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/msm: clean event_thread->worker in case of an error to the 6.2-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-msm-clean-event_thread-worker-in-case-of-an-erro.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b59bee1705985a137554b0d12c411171544c9956 Author: Dmitry Baryshkov <dmitry.baryshkov@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jun 18 02:33:25 2022 +0300 drm/msm: clean event_thread->worker in case of an error [ Upstream commit c79bb6b92defdcb834ceeeed9c1cf591beb1b71a ] If worker creation fails, nullify the event_thread->worker, so that msm_drm_uninit() doesn't try accessing invalid memory location. While we are at it, remove duplicate assignment to the ret variable.
