[11/89] drm: Fix authentication kernel crash

From: Greg KH
Date: Wed Feb 01 2012 - 16:31:53 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 598781d71119827b454fd75d46f84755bca6f0c6 upstream.

If the master tries to authenticate a client using drm_authmagic and
that client has already closed its drm file descriptor,
either wilfully or because it was terminated, the
call to drm_authmagic will dereference a stale pointer into kmalloc'ed memory
and corrupt it.

Typically this results in a hard system hang.

This patch fixes that problem by removing any authentication tokens
(struct drm_magic_entry) open for a file descriptor when that file
descriptor is closed.
