I noticed a rather surprising issue here while working on removing all of the non-atomic MST code: drm_atomic_get_mst_topology_state() doesn't check the return value of drm_atomic_get_private_obj_state() and instead just passes it directly to to_dp_mst_topology_state(). This means that if we hit a deadlock or something else which would return an error code pointer, we'll likely segfault the kernel.
This is definitely another one of those fixes where I'm astonished we somehow managed never to discover this issue until now…
It has been discussed before.
struct drm_dp_mst_topology_state { struct drm_private_state base; ... }
so offsetof(base)==0.
fhjdffds yes you're right, I guess we can just drop this patch then

Wasn't aware of container_of_safe(). I suppose no real harm in using it. Not sure why we'd even keep the non-safe version around?
Though the use of container_of_safe() everywhere won't help when "casting" the other way (&foo->base, when foo==NULL/errptr). In order to make that work for non-zero offsets we'd have to introduce a casting macro for that direction as well.
