Subject: [PATCH 02/13] drm/meson: dw-hdmi: Protect from possible NULL pointer dereference
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 19:47:30 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518194744.2483580-3-jonas@kwiboo.se> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518194744.2483580-1-jonas@kwiboo.se>
The IRQ handler can be called at any time after the call to
devm_request_threaded_irq() completes, even before dw_hdmi->bridge has
been assigned later in meson_dw_hdmi_bind().
Protect from a possible NULL pointer dereference in IRQ handler by only
calling drm_helper_hpd_irq_event() when bridge has been assigned.
Fixes: e67f6037ae1b ("drm/meson: split out encoder from meson_dw_hdmi")
Signed-off-by: Jonas Karlman <jonas@kwiboo.se>

I only observed this NULL pointer dereference one time, without being
able to reliably re-create a similar timing scenario. I still think this
is an issue that possible could happen and likely should be fixed.
Note that patches later in this series will fully replace this change.
