Bit-copying restoration of CRTC structure in failure-recovery path of drm_crtc_helper_set_config function evokes a subtle and rare, but very dangerous, corruption of CRTC mutex structure. Namely, if drm_crtc_helper_set_config takes the path under 'fail:' label *and* some other process has attempted to grab the crtc mutex (and got blocked), restoring the CRTC structure by bit-copying it will overwrite the CRTC mutex state and the waiters list pointer within the mutex structure. Consequently the blocked process will never be scheduled. This patch fixes the issue by eliminating the bit-copy restoration. The elimination is possible because previous patches have cleaned up the resoration path so that only the fields touched by the drm_crtc_helper_set_config function are saved and restored if necessary.

************************************************************ * For the very latest on DRI development, please see: * * http://dri.freedesktop.org/ * ************************************************************ The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI). The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major ways: 1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via the use of an optimized two-tiered lock. 2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to restricted regions of memory. 3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context switch. 4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module. Documentation on the DRI is available from: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=387 http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/ For specific information about kernel-level support, see: The Direct Rendering Manager, Kernel Support for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/drm_low_level.html Hardware Locking for the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/hardware_locking_low_level.html A Security Analysis of the Direct Rendering Infrastructure http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/security_low_level.html
