The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. From 02625c965239b71869326dd0461615f27307ecb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anirudh Rayabharam <mail@anirudhrb.com> Date: Mon, 17 May 2021 00:57:14 +0530 Subject: video: hgafb: correctly handle card detect failure during probe The return value of hga_card_detect() is not properly handled causing the probe to succeed even though hga_card_detect() failed. Since probe succeeds, hgafb_open() can be called which will end up operating on an unmapped hga_vram. This results in an out-of-bounds access as reported by kernel test robot [1]. To fix this, correctly detect failure of hga_card_detect() by checking for a non-zero error code.
