[PATCH 3.14 064/140] drm/i915: Do not dereference pointers from ring buffer in evict event
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 29 2014 - 01:18:46 EST
3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9297ebf29ad9118edd6c0fedc84f03e35028827d upstream.
The TP_printk() should never dereference any pointers, because the ring
buffer can be read at some unknown time in the future. If a device no
longer exists, it can cause a kernel oops. This also makes this
event useless when saving the ring buffer in userspaces tools such as
perf and trace-cmd.
The i915_gem_evict_vm dereferences the vm pointer which may also not
exist when the ring buffer is read sometime in the future.
