[PATCH] drm/amd/display: fix the system memory page fault because of copy overflow

[Chen, Jiansong (Simon)]

[AMD Public Use]

Hi Rui,
Seems the change has violated the kernel coding style😊, please help check.
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html

Allocating memory
......
The preferred form for passing a size of a struct is the following:

p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), ...);
The alternative form where struct name is spelled out hurts readability and introduces an opportunity for a bug when the pointer variable type is changed but the corresponding sizeof that is passed to a memory allocator is not.

Regards,
Jiansong

Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/display: fix the system memory page fault because of copy overflow

The buffer is allocated with the size of pointer and copy with the size of data structure. Then trigger the system memory page fault. Use the orignal data structure to get the object size.

Fixes: a8e30005b drm/amd/display/dc/core/dc_link: Move some local data from the stack to the heap
