Subject: CVE-2022-49490: drm/msm/mdp5: Return error code in mdp5_pipe_release when deadlock is detected
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/mdp5: Return error code in mdp5_pipe_release when deadlock is detected
mdp5_get_global_state runs the risk of hitting a -EDEADLK when acquiring
the modeset lock, but currently mdp5_pipe_release doesn't check for if
an error is returned. Because of this, there is a possibility of
mdp5_pipe_release hitting a NULL dereference error.
To avoid this, let's have mdp5_pipe_release check if
mdp5_get_global_state returns an error and propogate that error.
Changes since v1:
- Separated declaration and initialization of *new_state to avoid
compiler warning
- Fixed some spelling mistakes in commit message
Changes since v2:
- Return 0 in case where hwpipe is NULL as this is considered normal
behavior
- Added 2nd patch in series to fix a similar NULL dereference issue in
mdp5_mixer_release

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49490 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:
