Subject: [PATCH 2/2] drm/nouveau: Fix NULL pointer dereference in GET_ZCULL_INFO ioctl
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2026 11:30:53 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260815-null-fixes-v1-2-0df9dda951fb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260815-null-fixes-v1-0-0df9dda951fb@gmail.com>

When graphics engine firmware fails to load or initialization aborts
early, nvxx_gr(drm) returns NULL. Calling DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_GET_ZCULL_INFO
causes nouveau_abi16_ioctl_get_zcull_info() to dereference gr at offset
0xf0 without checking for NULL, triggering a kernel page fault.

Validate that gr is non-NULL before inspecting gr->has_zcull_info.
