Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.5 26/36] drm/exynos: fix a possible null-pointer dereference due to data race in exynos_drm_crtc_atomic_disable()

From: Tuo Li <islituo@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 2e63972a2de14482d0eae1a03a73e379f1c3f44c ]

The variable crtc->state->event is often protected by the lock
crtc->dev->event_lock when is accessed. However, it is accessed as a
condition of an if statement in exynos_drm_crtc_atomic_disable() without
holding the lock:

  if (crtc->state->event && !crtc->state->active)

However, if crtc->state->event is changed to NULL by another thread right
after the conditions of the if statement is checked to be true, a
null-pointer dereference can occur in drm_crtc_send_vblank_event():

  e->pipe = pipe;

To fix this possible null-pointer dereference caused by data race, the
spin lock coverage is extended to protect the if statement as well as the
function call to drm_crtc_send_vblank_event().
