From: Chris Wilson chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2017 19:41:55 +0000 Subject: drm/i915/fbdev: Serialise early hotplug events with async fbdev config

From: Chris Wilson chris@chris-wilson.co.uk

commit a45b30a6c5db631e2ba680304bd5edd0cd1f9643 upstream.

As both the hotplug event and fbdev configuration run asynchronously, it is possible for them to run concurrently. If configuration fails, we were freeing the fbdev causing a use-after-free in the hotplug event.

In order to keep the dev_priv->ifbdev alive after failure, we have to avoid the free and leave it empty until we unload the module (which is less than ideal, but a necessary evil for simplicity). Then we can use intel_fbdev_sync() to serialise the hotplug event with the configuration. The serialisation between the two was removed in commit 934458c2c95d ("Revert "drm/i915: Fix races on fbdev""), but the use after free is much older, commit 366e39b4d2c5 ("drm/i915: Tear down fbdev if initialization fails")
