This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/mediatek: Clean dangling pointer on bind error path to the 4.19-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-mediatek-clean-dangling-pointer-on-bind-error-pa.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0f7a6f5d8dced43d14b7be9c9bc8b4f92eeadfd9 Author: Nícolas F. R. A. Prado <nfraprado@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 22 09:39:49 2022 -0500 drm/mediatek: Clean dangling pointer on bind error path [ Upstream commit 36aa8c61af55675ed967900fbe5deb32d776f051 ] mtk_drm_bind() can fail, in which case drm_dev_put() is called, destroying the drm_device object. However a pointer to it was still being held in the private object, and that pointer would be passed along to DRM in mtk_drm_sys_prepare() if a suspend were triggered at that point, resulting in a panic. Clean the pointer when destroying the object in the error path to prevent this from happening. Fixes: 119f5173628a ("drm/mediatek: Add DRM Driver for Mediatek SoC MT8173.") Signed-off-by: Nícolas F.
