[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] intel driver vs. libdrm and NULL pointer handling

[Matthias Hopf]

drmModeGetConnector() of libdrm may return NULL in case of error, and
the driver doesn't validate the return value in drmmode_output_detect().

Also, given that the driver uses drmmode_output->mode_output without
NULL validation everywhere, fixing this isn't that trivial.


Additionally, drmmode_output->mode_output isn't NULLed after destroying,
see attached patch.


Another issue:
I currently see a situation here, when after a number of hibernate
cycles with kernel 2.6.33 mode_output->modes is NULL, while
mode_output->count_modes is small but positive. Reading the source of
libdrm it looks impossible to get a drmModeConnectorPtr with this
combination, so I still wonder how this might happen. If anybody has any
ideas, they would be more than welcome.

Matthias
