[PATCH 0/2] fbdev: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in fb_release()

From: Javier Martinez Canillas
Date: Mon May 02 2022 - 09:10:07 EST


Hello,

This small series contains fixes for two bugs I found in fbmem.c, that may
explain a bug reported in the rpi4 [0] when using simplefb and vc4 drivers.

I was not able to reproduce the mentioned bug, but looking at the code I
think that it might explain the issue.

I've tested these patches in a rpi4 with both simplefb and vc4 drivers
built-in and did not find any regression.

Best regards,
Javier

fbdev: Check in file_fb_info() if the fb_info was already been freed
fbdev: Make fb_release() return -ENODEV if fbdev was unregistered
