[PATCH] drm/nouveau/mmu: Fix an UAF issue in NVKM

From: korantwork
Date: Thu Jan 12 2023 - 02:19:07 EST


From: Xinghui Li <korantli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In nvkm_mem_new_host, the mem is be alloced. And mem->memory is
assigned to pmemory. During this process, the mem will be free if
the error occurs. But the *pmemory still points to the &mem->memory
which has been relased.Laterly, the nvkm_memory_unref will put the
memory which points to the pmemory again.So, we set the *pmemory to
NULL to avoid UAF issue.
