This happens because, although prepare_fb and cleanup_fb are perfectly balanced, we cannot guarantee consistency in the check plane->state->fb == state->fb. This means that sometimes we can increase the refcount in prepare_fb and don't decrease it in cleanup_fb. The opposite can also be true.
In fact, the struct drm_plane .state shouldn't be accessed directly but instead, the drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state() helper function should be used. So, we could stick to this check, but using drm_atomic_get_new_plane_state(). But actually, this check is not re ---truncated---
AnalysisAI
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: don't check if plane->state->fb == state->fb Currently, when using non-blocking commits, we can see the following kernel. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Use After Free vulnerability could allow attackers to access freed memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Use After Free (CWE-416), which allows attackers to access freed memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: don't check if plane->state->fb state->fb Currently, when using non-blocking commits, we can see the following kernel warning: [ 110.908514] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 110.908529] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
