[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/i915: Fix NULL deref when re-enabling HPD IRQs on systems with MST

From: Lyude Paul
Date: Fri Oct 26 2018 - 18:49:25 EST


Turns out that if you trigger an HPD storm on a system that has an MST
topology connected to it, you'll end up causing the kernel to eventually
hit a NULL deref:

This appears to be due to the fact that with an MST topology, not all
intel_connector structs will have ->encoder set. So, fix this by
skipping connectors without encoders in
intel_hpd_irq_storm_reenable_work().

For those wondering, this bug was found on accident while simulating HPD
storms using a Chamelium connected to a ThinkPad T450s (Broadwell).

Changes since v1:
- Check intel_connector->mst_port instead of intel_connector->encoder
