[Intel-gfx] NULL ptr dereference in current i915 driver

Tue Apr 21 16:36:19 PDT 2015

So I just go the appended NULL pointer de-reference when trying to
look at a video from my GoPro.

The code disassembles to

   0: 81 fb 00 04 00 00     cmp    $0x400,%ebx
   6: 41 89 07             mov    %eax,(%r15)
   9: 74 78                 je     0x83
   b: 48 8d 7c 24 18       lea    0x18(%rsp),%rdi
  10: e8 6e b3 1b c1       callq  0xffffffffc11bb383
  15: 84 c0                 test   %al,%al
  17: 74 4a                 je     0x63
  19: 48 85 ed             test   %rbp,%rbp
  1c: 75 b5                 jne    0xffffffffffffffd3
  1e: 48 8b 04 24           mov    (%rsp),%rax
  22: 49 8b 84 c4 98 01 00 mov    0x198(%r12,%rax,8),%rax
  29: 00
  2a:* 48 8b 28             mov    (%rax),%rbp <-- trapping instruction
  2d: 65 ff 05 1f e8 ef 3f incl   %gs:0x3fefe81f(%rip)        # 0x3fefe853
  34: 48 b8 00 00 00 00 00 movabs $0x160000000000,%rax
  3b: 16 00 00

which matches up with the asm code

        cmpl    $1024, %ebx     #, act_pte
        movl    %eax, (%r15)    # D.49217, *_26
        je      .L118   #,
  .L110:
        leaq    24(%rsp), %rdi  #, tmp156
        call    __sg_page_iter_next     #
        testb   %al, %al        # D.49219
        je      .L119   #,
        testq   %rbp, %rbp      # pt_vaddr
        jne     .L109   #,
        movq    (%rsp), %rax    # %sfp, act_pt
        movq    408(%r12,%rax,8), %rax  # MEM[(struct i915_hw_ppgtt
*)vm_8(D)].D.36998.pd.page
        movq    (%rax), %rbp    # _21->page, D.49221
  #APP
  # 72 "./arch/x86/include/asm/preempt.h" 1
        incl %gs:__preempt_count(%rip)  # __preempt_count
  # 0 "" 2
  #NO_APP
        movabsq $24189255811072, %rax   #, tmp150

which in turn seems to come from the C code

                        pt_vaddr =
kmap_atomic(ppgtt->pd.page_table[act_pt]->page);

(that "testq %rbp,%rbp; jne" just before the oopsing instruction group
is that "if (pt_vaddr == NULL)" test.

IOW, it looks like

     ppgtt->pd.page_table[act_pt]

is NULL, and then trying to dereference ->page off of it is what
oopses (the preempt-count increment that comes after is the
"pagefault_disable()" in kmap_atomic, and the big constant we're
loading into %rax is part of "page_address(page)").

I have no idea why "ppgtt->pd.page_table[act_pt]" would be NULL, but
clearly it can be. Can somebody who knows this code look into it. I've
added a few people who have worked in this area recently, in addition
to the usual maintainer list..

Thanks,

                  Linus
