VT switch back/forth from console to xserver (for example) has potential to go horribly wrong if a dynamic DP MST connector ends up in the saved modeset that is restored when switching back to fbcon. When removing a dynamic connector, don't forget to clean up the saved state. v1: original v2: null out set->fb if no more connectors to avoid making i915 cranky Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1184968 Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+) --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c @@ -145,6 +145,31 @@ int drm_fb_helper_add_one_connector(stru } EXPORT_SYMBOL(drm_fb_helper_add_one_connector); +static void remove_from_modeset(struct drm_mode_set *set, + struct drm_connector *connector) +{ + int i, j; + + for (i = 0; i < set->num_connectors; i++) { + if (set->connectors[i] == connector) + break; + } + + if (i == set->num_connectors) + return; + + for (j = i + 1; j < set->num_connectors; j++) { + set->connectors[j - 1] = set->connectors[j]; + } + set->num_connectors--; + + /* because i915 is pissy about this.. + * TODO maybe need to makes sure we set it back to !=NULL somewhere? + */ + if (set->num_connectors == 0) + set->fb = NULL; +} + int drm_fb_helper_remove_one_connector(struct drm_fb_helper *fb_helper, struct drm_connector *connector) { @@ -167,6 +192,11 @@ int drm_fb_helper_remove_one_connector(s } fb_helper->connector_count--; kfree(fb_helper_connector); + + /* also cleanup dangling references to the connector: */ + for (i = 0; i < fb_helper->crtc_count; i++) + remove_from_modeset(&fb_helper->crtc_info[i].mode_set, connector); + return 0; } EXPORT_SYMBOL(drm_fb_helper_remove_one_connector); Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from robdclark@xxxxxxxxx are queue-3.18/drm-fix-fb-helper-vs-mst-dangling-connector-ptrs-v2.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
