Subject: [PATCH] drm/vmwgfx_kms: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2017 15:54:18 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171204215418.GA23874@embeddedor.com> (raw)
crtc_state is being null checked in a previous code block, which implies
that such pointer might be null.
crtc_state is dereferenced in drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state, hence
there is a potential null pointer dereference.
Fix this by warning-on and returning -EINVAL in case crtc_state is null.
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1462412 ("Dereference after null check")
Fixes: a01cb8ba3f62 ("drm: Move drm_plane_helper_check_state() into drm_atomic_helper.c")
