Summary
video/aperture: optionally match the device in sysfb_disable()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

video/aperture: optionally match the device in sysfb_disable()

In aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices(), we currently only call sysfb_disable() on vga class devices. This leads to the following problem when the pimary device is not VGA compatible:

  1. A PCI device with a non-VGA class is the boot display
  2. That device is probed first and it is not a VGA device so sysfb_disable() is not called, but the device resources are freed by aperture_detach_platform_device()
  3. Non-primary GPU has a VGA class and it ends up calling sysfb_disable()
  4. NULL pointer dereference via sysfb_disable() since the resources have already been freed by aperture_detach_platform_device() when it was called by the other device.

Fix this by passing a device pointer to sysfb_disable() and checking the device to determine if we should execute it or not.

v2: Fix build when CONFIG_SCREEN_INFO is not set v3: Move device check into the mutex Drop primary variable in aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() Drop __init on pci sysfb_pci_dev_is_enabled()
