[PATCH 1/1] video: fbdev: fix divide error in fbcon_switch

[saeed.mirzamohammadi]

From: Saeed Mirzamohammadi <saeed.mirzamohammadi@oracle.com>

This patch fixes the issue due to:

[   89.572883] divide_error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
[   89.572897] CPU: 3 PID: 16083 Comm: repro Not tainted 5.9.0-rc7.20200930.rc1.allarch-19-g3e32d0d.syzk #5
[   89.572902] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 0.5.1 01/01/2011
[   89.572934] RIP: 0010:cirrusfb_check_var+0x84/0x1260

The error happens when the pixels value is calculated before performing the sanity checks on bits_per_pixel.
A bits_per_pixel set to zero causes divide by zero error.

This patch moves the calculation after the sanity check.

BTW, if you run qemu with cirrus, there's also a DRM driver named
cirrus.ko. Might be a better choice than the old fbdev driver. If you
just care about qemu, but not the actual graphics device, take a look at

  https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2014/10/qemu-using-cirrus-considered-harmful/

Anyway, thanks for your patch.

Best regards
Thomas

It's in drm-misc-next, IIUC heading for Linus' tree in the next merge
window in 6-8 weeks. Which is to say this should probably have been
applied to drm-misc-fixes branch heading for v5.10-rcX, with a Cc:
stable tag, to begin with.

BR,
Jani.

Ok, nothing I can do with this now, please email stable@vger.kernel.org
when it hits Linus's tree and we can take it then.

Saeed, please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

thanks,
