Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: modedb: keep mode option buffer until parsing completes
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260609160028.5-1-ruoyuw560@gmail.com> (raw)

When fb_find_mode() obtains the mode option from fb_get_options(),
mode_option_buf owns the returned string and name points into that
buffer. The done label frees mode_option_buf before the database
fallback has finished using name in name_matches(), so the fallback can
read freed memory.

Move the free to a common exit path and convert the successful returns
that can use mode_option_buf into jumps to that exit path.

Fixes: 089d924d03d5 ("fbdev: Read video= option with fb_get_option() in modedb")
