[PATCH 6.1.y] drm/amd/display: Validate function returns
From: Artem Dinaburg
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 15:38:13 EST
From: Alex Hung <alex.hung@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 673f816b9e1e92d1f70e1bf5f21b531e0ff9ad6c ]
[WHAT & HOW]
Function return values must be checked before data can be used
in subsequent functions.
This fixes 4 CHECKED_RETURN issues reported by Coverity.
[ Backport to 6.1.y: adapted the visual-panel, watermark, and
link-detection checks to their older locations. The upstream DMUB
run-list/D3 path is absent; the older dc_dmub_srv_cmd_queue() already
checks and logs idle-wait failures but, unlike upstream, still retries
the queue once afterwards. No DMUB queue change is included. ]

Hi Greg, Sasha, and drm amd maintainers,
I am working through the small CVE backports still missing from 6.1.y.
This one addresses CVE-2024-46775. It carries the three return-value
checks that map to 6.1.y: visual-panel validation, p-state watermark
propagation, and sink-detection validation during link-training retries.
The upstream DMUB run-list/D3 path does not exist here. I left 6.1.y's
older dc_dmub_srv_cmd_queue() unchanged. It already checks and logs the
idle-wait result, but unlike upstream it still re-queues once after a
failed wait, and checks that re-queue's status.
The corresponding 6.6.y backport is already in the 6.6.y stable queue.
The fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y, and 7.2.y, but not
in 6.1.y.
The target-specific adjustment is recorded in the bracketed note above.
Could you please queue it for 6.1.y?
CVE: CVE-2024-46775
Upstream: 673f816b9e1e92d1f70e1bf5f21b531e0ff9ad6c
AI assistance: An LLM helped identify, adapt, and validate this backport; I
reviewed the resulting code and validation evidence.
Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
