Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] drm/amd/display: Fix dangling pointer in connector reset function
Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2026 12:04:31 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260629090435.9729-5-evg28bur@yandex.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260629090435.9729-2-evg28bur@yandex.ru>
amdgpu_dm_connector_funcs_reset() frees the old state before allocating
a new one. If kzalloc_obj() fails, the function returns without updating
the state pointer, leaving a dangling pointer to already freed memory.
Fix this by allocating the new state first. On allocation failure, the
old state remains untouched and the function safely returns.
Additionally restore the explicit kfree(old_state) which was lost when
the function was refactored, as __drm_atomic_helper_connector_destroy_state()
only frees resources but not the state structure itself.
Fixes: e7b07ceef2a6 ("drm/amd/display: Merge amdgpu_dm_types and amdgpu_dm")
