[ Upstream commit 2e63972a2d ]
The variable crtc->state->event is often protected by the lock
crtc->dev->event_lock when is accessed. However, it is accessed as a
condition of an if statement in exynos_drm_crtc_atomic_disable() without
holding the lock:
if (crtc->state->event && !crtc->state->active)
However, if crtc->state->event is changed to NULL by another thread right
after the conditions of the if statement is checked to be true, a
null-pointer dereference can occur in drm_crtc_send_vblank_event():
e->pipe = pipe;
To fix this possible null-pointer dereference caused by data race, the
spin lock coverage is extended to protect the if statement as well as the
function call to drm_crtc_send_vblank_event().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
