[PATCH v2 0/5] drm/gud: fix probe validation, shadow_buf UAF, and bulk_len divide-by-zero

From: Hui Peng

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 03:05:49 EST


This patch series addresses multiple memory safety, concurrency, and
validation bugs in drivers/gpu/drm/gud/:

- Patch 1 moves display descriptor validation in gud_probe() to after
drmm_mode_config_init() and field assignments, preventing unconditional
probe failure (-EINVAL) on non-DMA USB display devices.
- Patch 2 aligns both x1 and x2 coordinates to block_width in
gud_flush_damage(), keeping rectangle width aligned for compressed
block display formats.
- Patch 3 flushes pending background work (flush_work(&gdrm->work)) prior
to freeing gdrm->shadow_buf on framebuffer resize, eliminating the
Use-After-Free (UAF) race between queue_damage and gud_flush_work().
- Patch 4 guards lines = gdrm->bulk_len / pitch against zero pitch or
lines in gud_flush_damage(), preventing divide-by-zero in DIV_ROUND_UP().
- Patch 5 resets damage state on vcalloc() ENOMEM failure in
gud_fb_queue_damage(), preventing damage height underflow in subsequent
flushes.

All 5 patches have been dynamically verified in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3
with KASAN enabled; detailed test methods and outcomes are documented in
each commit body.

Changes in v2:
- Split single monolithic patch into 5 distinct, single-purpose patches
as requested by maintainers and reviewers.
- Included QEMU test methods, expected vs unfixed behaviors, and KASAN trace
details in commit bodies.
