NULL ptr dereference in current i915 driver

From: Linus Torvalds

So I just go the appended NULL pointer de-reference when trying to
look at a video from my GoPro.

The code disassembles to

0: 81 fb 00 04 00 00 cmp $0x400,%ebx
6: 41 89 07 mov %eax,(%r15)
9: 74 78 je 0x83
b: 48 8d 7c 24 18 lea 0x18(%rsp),%rdi
10: e8 6e b3 1b c1 callq 0xffffffffc11bb383
15: 84 c0 test %al,%al
17: 74 4a je 0x63
19: 48 85 ed test %rbp,%rbp
1c: 75 b5 jne 0xffffffffffffffd3
1e: 48 8b 04 24 mov (%rsp),%rax
22: 49 8b 84 c4 98 01 00 mov 0x198(%r12,%rax,8),%rax
29: 00
2a:* 48 8b 28 mov (%rax),%rbp <-- trapping instruction
2d: 65 ff 05 1f e8 ef 3f incl %gs:0x3fefe81f(%rip) # 0x3fefe853
34: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0x160000000000,%rax
3b: 16 00 00

which matches up with the asm code

cmpl $1024, %ebx #, act_pte
movl %eax, (%r15) # D.49217, *_26
je .L118 #,
.L110:
leaq 24(%rsp), %rdi #, tmp156
call __sg_page_iter_next #
testb %al, %al # D.49219
je .L119 #,
testq %rbp, %rbp # pt_vaddr
jne .L109 #,
movq (%rsp), %rax # %sfp, act_pt
movq 408(%r12,%rax,8), %rax # MEM[(struct i915_hw_ppgtt
*)vm_8(D)].D.36998.pd.page
movq (%rax), %rbp # _21->page, D.49221
#APP
# 72 "./arch/x86/include/asm/preempt.h" 1
incl %gs:__preempt_count(%rip) # __preempt_count
# 0 "" 2
#NO_APP
movabsq $24189255811072, %rax #, tmp150

which in turn seems to come from the C code

pt_vaddr =
kmap_atomic(ppgtt->pd.page_table[act_pt]->page);

(that "testq %rbp,%rbp; jne" just before the oopsing instruction group
is that "if (pt_vaddr == NULL)" test.

IOW, it looks like

ppgtt->pd.page_table[act_pt]

is NULL, and then trying to dereference ->page off of it is what
oopses (the preempt-count increment that comes after is the
"pagefault_disable()" in kmap_atomic, and the big constant we're
loading into %rax is part of "page_address(page)").

I have no idea why "ppgtt->pd.page_table[act_pt]" would be NULL, but
clearly it can be. Can somebody who knows this code look into it. I've
added a few people who have worked in this area recently, in addition
to the usual maintainer list..

Thanks,

Linus
