[PATCH] drm/nouveau: Fix null pointer dereference
Posted by Chenyuan Yang 8 months, 1 week ago
The return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is assigned to mode,
which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference on
failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.

if drm_mode_duplicate() fails, it's almost certainly the result of a memory
allocation failure. So we shouldn't use continue here and instead should just
return -ENOMEM on failure to stop the probing process.
