[PATCH v2 3/4] drm/nouveau/device: don't use the pstate cursor after the loop
From: Francesco Magazzu
Date: Sun Jul 12 2026 - 08:38:25 EST
nvkm_control_mthd_pstate_attr() looks up the pstate at the index supplied
by userspace by walking clk->states, and then keeps using the
list_for_each_entry cursor after the loop. This is not triggerable today:
the function already rejects args->v0.state >= clk->state_nr before the
loop, and clk->state_nr is kept in sync with the number of entries on
clk->states, so the lookup always breaks on a real entry.
Should the loop ever run to completion, the cursor would point at the list
head rather than at a pstate, and the pstate->base.domain[] read and the
walk of pstate->list that follow would read past it. Rather than leave
that trap in place, track whether the entry was found and return -EINVAL if
it was not, like the other lookup failures in this function.
No functional change.
