If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4b3b4003280beb9ca9f950193e9244fc3aff313d Author: Douglas Anderson <dianders@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 14 12:37:51 2023 -0800 drm/bridge: parade-ps8640: Never store more than msg->size bytes in AUX xfer [ Upstream commit 3164c8a70073d43629b4e11e083d3d2798f7750f ] While testing, I happened to notice a random crash that looked like: Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: drm_dp_dpcd_probe+0x120/0x120 Analysis of drm_dp_dpcd_probe() shows that we pass in a 1-byte buffer (allocated on the stack) to the aux->transfer() function. Presumably if the aux->transfer() writes more than one byte to this buffer then we're in a bad shape. Dropping into kgdb, I noticed that "aux->transfer" pointed at ps8640_aux_transfer(). Reading through ps8640_aux_transfer(), I can see that there are cases where it could write more bytes to msg->buffer than were specified by msg->size. This could happen if the hardware reported back something bogus to us. Let's fix this so we never write more than msg->size bytes. We'll still read all the bytes from the hardware just in case the hardware requires it since the aux transfer data comes through an auto-incrementing register. NOTE: I have no actual way to reproduce this issue but it seems likely this is what was happening in the crash I looked at.
