Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(s) to consider: - [High] Lockless access to `crtc->state` and `crtc->primary->state` can lead to a Use-After-Free due to concurrent atomic commits. - [High] The patch breaks vblank synchronization for legacy (non-atomic) DRM drivers. - [Medium] The logic selects the first matching CRTC instead of the last active one, contradicting the commit message. --
commit 0337b26b606b4d905d72ea2be31bcb984fe62c6e Author: H. Nikolaus Schaller <[email protected]> drm/fb_helper: Determine proper crtc_index within drm_fb_helper_fb_dirty This commit updates the dirty framebuffer worker to search for a matching active CRTC instead of hardcoding the wait for vblank to CRTC index 0. It aims to avoid vblank timeouts when CRTC 0 is inactive. > diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c > +++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c [ ... ] > @@ -232,9 +232,23 @@ static void drm_fb_helper_fb_dirty(struct drm_fb_helper > *helper) > struct drm_clip_rect clip_copy; > unsigned long flags; > int ret; > + unsigned int crtc_index = 0; > + struct drm_crtc *crtc; > > mutex_lock(&helper->lock); > - drm_client_modeset_wait_for_vblank(&helper->client, 0); > + > + drm_for_each_crtc(crtc, dev) { > + if (crtc->primary && crtc->primary->state && > + crtc->primary->state->fb == helper->fb && > + crtc->state && crtc->state->active) { [Severity: High] Can this lockless access to crtc->state and crtc->primary->state result in a use-after-free? The drm_fb_helper_fb_dirty() function holds helper->lock, but does not hold the DRM modeset locks required to protect these state pointers. During a concurrent atomic modeset commit, the DRM core allocates new state objects, swaps them into place, and frees the old objects via kfree(). If this code reads an old state pointer and gets preempted, could it then dereference the pointer after it has been freed by the concurrent commit? [Severity: High] Does this break vblank synchronization for legacy non-atomic DRM drivers? Legacy drivers do not use the atomic modesetting infrastructure, so their crtc->state and crtc->primary->state pointers remain NULL. Since the condition above requires these pointers to be non-NULL, the loop will skip the vblank wait entirely for legacy drivers. This skips the intended rate-limiting behavior and could lead to unbounded damage worker execution. > + crtc_index = drm_crtc_index(crtc) + 1; > + break; [Severity: Medium] The commit message states "If multiple CRTCs match, the last active one is selected." Does the break statement here cause the first active CRTC to be selected instead, bypassing the remaining matches in the list? > + } > + } > + > + if (crtc_index > 0) > + drm_client_modeset_wait_for_vblank(&helper->client, crtc_index > - 1); > + > mutex_unlock(&helper->lock); -- Sashiko AI review ยท https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/5118b37e579cec220f2d2b6ab0bb1ecfb67f0d5c.1781803617.git....@goldelico.com?part=1
