[PATCH 6.6.y] drm/amd/display: Ensure array index tg_inst won't be -1
From: Artem Dinaburg
Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 23:12:27 EST
From: Alex Hung <alex.hung@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 687fe329f18ab0ab0496b20ed2cb003d4879d931 ]
[WHY & HOW]
tg_inst will be a negative if timing_generator_count equals 0, which
should be checked before used.
This fixes 2 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.
[ Backport to 6.6.y: mapped the newer pipe index and helper to i in the
older acquire_first_free_pipe(). ]

Hi Greg, Sasha, and drm amd maintainers,
I am working through the small CVE backports still missing from 6.6.y.
This one addresses CVE-2024-46730. It adds upstream's zero-count guard
before the fallback timing-generator index is computed.
The condition now avoids forming timing_generators[-1] if a zero-count pool
reaches this helper. I did not find a successfully constructed in-tree
resource pool with zero timing generators on this revision, so this is a
defensive match to the upstream check rather than a reproduced fault.
The fix is already present in 6.12.y, 6.18.y, and 7.2.y, but not in 6.6.y.
This fix also affects 6.1.y, which will need a separate backport; this
submission contains only the 6.6.y patch.
The target-specific adjustment is recorded in the bracketed note above.
Could you please queue it for 6.6.y?
CVE: CVE-2024-46730
Upstream: 687fe329f18ab0ab0496b20ed2cb003d4879d931
AI assistance: An LLM helped identify, adapt, and validate this backport; I
reviewed the resulting code and validation evidence.
Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
