[PATCH] drm/msm/adreno: fix userspace-triggered crash on a2xx-a4xx
Posted by Dmitry Baryshkov 2 months, 1 week ago
Before a5xx Adreno driver will not try fetching UBWC params (because
those generations didn't support UBWC anyway), however it's still
possible to query UBWC-related params from the userspace, triggering
possible NULL pointer dereference. Check for UBWC config in
adreno_get_param() and return sane defaults if there is none.

Fixes: a452510aad53 ("drm/msm/adreno: Switch to the common UBWC config struct")

These three params are only used by userspace on a6xx, so tbh it would
be ok to return -ENOENT for platforms that have no ubwc config.  That
might be better than returning imaginary values.

BR,
-R

I'd say, those are defaults. But I agree, -ENOENT might be better.
