This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/msm/dpu: check for null return of devm_kzalloc() in dpu_writeback_init() to the 6.1-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-dpu-check-for-null-return-of-devm_kzalloc-in.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 33abea5f9c7437f15535412cf2e40b6d89ef3049 Author: Hui Tang <tanghui20@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 19 13:55:18 2022 +0800 drm/msm/dpu: check for null return of devm_kzalloc() in dpu_writeback_init() [ Upstream commit 21e9a838f505178e109ccb3bf19d7808eb0326f4 ] Because of the possilble failure of devm_kzalloc(), dpu_wb_conn might be NULL and will cause null pointer dereference later. Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM.
