[PATCH 6.6.y] drm/amd/display: Validate function returns

From: Artem Dinaburg

Date: Mon Sep 28 2026 - 23:27:12 EST


From: Alex Hung <alex.hung@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 673f816b9e1e92d1f70e1bf5f21b531e0ff9ad6c ]

[WHAT & HOW]
Function return values must be checked before data can be used
in subsequent functions.

This fixes 4 CHECKED_RETURN issues reported by Coverity.

[ Backport to 6.6.y: used the older dcn20 path and checked the applicable
non-OK wait result; the surrounding D3-state case is absent. ]

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-2024-46775. It checks four display-helper results
before their output is used.

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-2024-46775
Upstream: 673f816b9e1e92d1f70e1bf5f21b531e0ff9ad6c

AI assistance: An LLM helped identify, adapt, and validate this backport; I
reviewed the resulting code and validation evidence.

Thanks,
Artem Dinaburg
