[PATCH] drm/modes: reject out-of-range GTF blanking duty cycle
Posted by Xiang Mei 1 week, 6 days ago
drm_gtf_mode_complex() derives the blanking duty cycle from the GTF
C/M/K/J coefficients and divides by its complement:

	ideal_duty_cycle = GTF_C_PRIME * 1000 -
				(GTF_M_PRIME * 1000000 / hfreq_est);
	hblank = total_active_pixels * ideal_duty_cycle /
			(100000 - ideal_duty_cycle);

ideal_duty_cycle is an unsigned per-mille percentage that must stay below
100000, but nothing enforces it. Via drm_gtf2_mode() the coefficients come
straight from an EDID secondary-GTF range descriptor, so a crafted monitor
(or an edid_override re-probed with DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETCONNECTOR) can set
ideal_duty_cycle to exactly 100000, making the divisor 0 and trapping with
a divide error; a larger value wraps the unsigned subtraction and yields a
garbage modeline.

Reject a duty cycle of 100% or more, which is never a valid GTF result.
drm_gtf2_mode() and the inferred-mode helpers already handle a NULL return.

Crash:
