[PATCH 4.14 038/189] drm/msm: dont deref error pointer in the msm_fbdev_create error path

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 18 2018 - 04:30:43 EST


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

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

From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 789d4c300e10eb2096ee83c3497118e67ccc951e ]

Currently the error pointer returned by msm_alloc_stolen_fb gets passed
to drm_framebuffer_remove. The latter handles only NULL pointers, thus
a nasty crash will occur.

Drop the unnecessary fail label and the associated checks - both err and
fb will be set at this stage.
