[07/75] drm/i915: prevent division by zero when asking for chipset power
From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Jan 03 2012 - 17:55:01 EST
3.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eugeni Dodonov <eugeni.dodonov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 4ed0b577457eb6aeb7cdc7e7316576e63d15abb2 upstream.
This prevents an in-kernel division by zero which happens when we are
asking for i915_chipset_val too quickly, or within a race condition
between the power monitoring thread and userspace accesses via debugfs.
The issue can be reproduced easily via the following command:
while ``; do cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_emon_status; done
This is particularly dangerous because it can be triggered by
a non-privileged user by just reading the debugfs entry.
This issue was also found independently by Konstantin Belousov
<kostikbel@xxxxxxxxx>, who proposed a similar patch.
