This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/msm/dpu: Add check for cstate to the 5.4-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-add-check-for-cstate.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8a5d9cbf2224f5710d93ba0bf72fb1d882c5ca46 Author: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 6 16:05:17 2022 +0800 drm/msm/dpu: Add check for cstate [ Upstream commit c96988b7d99327bb08bd9efd29a203b22cd88ace ] As kzalloc may fail and return NULL pointer, it should be better to check cstate in order to avoid the NULL pointer dereference in __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset. Fixes: 1cff7440a86e ("drm/msm: Convert to using __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset() for reset.")
