[PATCH] drm/amd/display: fix leak of probed modes

[PATCH] drm/amd/display: fix leak of probed modes

[Fedor Pchelkin]

amdgpu_dm_connector_ddc_get_modes() reinitializes a connector's probed
modes list without cleaning it up. First time it is called during the
driver's initialization phase, then via drm_mode_getconnector() ioctl.
The leaks observed with Kmemleak are as following:

I can't reproduce the issue before the commit in Fixes which placed that
extra amdgpu_dm_connector_get_modes() call. Though the reinitializing part

	/* empty probed_modes */
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&connector->probed_modes);

was added years before and it looks OK since drm_connector_list_update()
should shake the list in between drm_mode_getconnector() ioctl calls.


For what the patch does there exists a drm_mode_remove() helper but it's
static at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_connector.c and requires to be exported
first. This probably looks like a subject for an independent for-next
patch, if needed.

So you're saying this change will take two iterations of patches to ping 
pong the code?

Why not just send this as a two patch series?

1) Export the symbol drm_mode_remove()
2) This patch, but use the symbol.

Initially I wasn't sure if the exporting patch was worth moving the code
around and in the end decided to make the current patch with a minimum of
prerequisites.

But giving this a second glance, I see exporting the symbol would be
technically better. I'll send out v2.

Thanks!
