Subject: CVE-2022-49055: drm/amdkfd: Check for potential null return of kmalloc_array()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Check for potential null return of kmalloc_array()

As the kmalloc_array() may return null, the 'event_waiters[i].wait' would lead to null-pointer dereference.
Therefore, it is better to check the return value of kmalloc_array() to avoid this confusion.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49055 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
