Subject: drm: fix a use-after-free when GPU acceleration disabled
From: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b7ea85a4fed37835eec78a7be3039c8dc22b8178 upstream.
When GPU acceleration is disabled, drm_vblank_cleanup() will free the
vblank-related data, such as vblank_refcount, vblank_inmodeset, etc.
But we found that drm_vblank_post_modeset() may be called after the
cleanup, which use vblank_refcount and vblank_inmodeset. And this will
cause a kernel panic.
Fix this by return immediately if dev->num_crtcs is zero. This is the
same thing that drm_vblank_pre_modeset() does.
Call trace of a drm_vblank_post_modeset() after drm_vblank_cleanup():
