This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled drm/msm: Fix hw_fence error path cleanup to the 6.4-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-fix-hw_fence-error-path-cleanup.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit efb36738a671a194503abc80eeaf09607521be7c Author: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 12 15:25:23 2023 -0700 drm/msm: Fix hw_fence error path cleanup [ Upstream commit 1cd0787f082e1a179f2b6e749d08daff1a9f6b1b ] In an error path where the submit is free'd without the job being run, the hw_fence pointer is simply a kzalloc'd block of memory. In this case we should just kfree() it, rather than trying to decrement it's reference count. Fortunately we can tell that this is the case by checking for a zero refcount, since if the job was run, the submit would be holding a reference to the hw_fence.
