Subject: [PATCH] drm/bridge: dumb-vga-dac: Fix dereferencing -ENODEV DDC channel
Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 11:30:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190813093046.4976-1-geert+renesas@glider.be> (raw)
If the VGA connector has no DDC channel, an error pointer will be
dereferenced, e.g. on Salvator-XS:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000000000017d
...
Call trace:
sysfs_do_create_link_sd.isra.0+0x40/0x108
sysfs_create_link+0x20/0x40
drm_sysfs_connector_add+0xa8/0xc8
drm_connector_register.part.3+0x54/0xb0
drm_connector_register_all+0xb0/0xd0
drm_modeset_register_all+0x54/0x88
drm_dev_register+0x18c/0x1d8
rcar_du_probe+0xe4/0x150
...
This happens because vga->ddc either contains a valid DDC channel
pointer, or -ENODEV, and drm_connector_init_with_ddc() expects a valid
DDC channel pointer, or NULL.
Fix this by resetting vga->ddc to NULL in case of -ENODEV, and replacing
the existing error checks by non-NULL checks.
This is similar to what the HDMI connector driver does.
Fixes: a4f9087e85de141e ("drm/bridge: dumb-vga-dac: Provide ddc symlink in connector sysfs directory")

An alternative would be to check if vga->ddc contains an error pointer,
and calling drm_connector_init() instead of
drm_connector_init_with_ddc(), like before.
