[PATCH 2/6] drm/rockchip: dw_dp: Switch to drmm_kzalloc()

From: Cristian Ciocaltea <hidden>
Date: 2026-01-21 23:18:02
Also in: dri-devel, linux-rockchip, lkml
Subsystem: arm/rockchip soc support, drm drivers, drm drivers and misc gpu patches, drm drivers for rockchip, the rest · Maintainers: Heiko Stuebner, David Airlie, Simona Vetter, Maarten Lankhorst, Maxime Ripard, Thomas Zimmermann, Sandy Huang, Heiko Stübner, Andy Yan, Linus Torvalds

Driver makes use of drmm_encoder_init() to initialize the encoder and
automatically handle the cleanup by registering drm_encoder_cleanup()
with drmm_add_action().

However, the internal structure containing the encoder part gets
allocated with devm_kzalloc(), which happens while component_bind_all()
is being called from Rockchip DRM driver.  The component framework
further ensures it is deallocated as part of releasing all the resources
claimed during bind, which is triggered from component_unbind_all().

When the reference to the DRM device gets eventually dropped via
drm_dev_put() in rockchip_drm_unbind(), drmm_encoder_alloc_release()
attempts to access the now released encoder structure, leading to
use-after-free.

Ensure driver's internal structure is still reachable on encoder cleanup
by switching from a device-managed allocation to a drm-managed one.

Fixes: d68ba7bac955 ("drm/rockchip: Add RK3588 DPTX output support")
