Linux kernel source tree
49a8bf50ca
In igt_request_rewind(), mock_context(i915, "A") is assigned to ctx[0]
and used in i915_gem_context_get_engine(). There is a dereference
of ctx[0] in i915_gem_context_get_engine(), which could lead to a NULL
pointer dereference on failure of mock_context(i915, "A") .
So as mock_context(i915, "B").
Although this bug is not serious for it belongs to testing code, it is
better to be fixed to avoid unexpected failure in testing.
Fix this bugs by adding checks about ctx[0] and ctx[1].
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations
(e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the
inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or
the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_DRM_I915_SELFTEST=y show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
