## Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  drm/amd/display: Add null check for set_output_gamma in dcn30_set_output_transfer_func  This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer in the  dcn30_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously, set_output_gamma was being checked for nullity at line 386, but then it was being dereferenced without any nullity check at line 401. This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if set_output_gamma is indeed null.  To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 401. If set_output_gamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the function.  This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error.  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c:401 dcn30_set_output_transfer_func() error: we previously assumed 'mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma' could be null (see line 386)  drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c     373 bool dcn30_set_output_transfer_func(struct dc *dc,     374                                 struct pipe_ctx *pipe_ctx,     375                                 const struct dc_stream_state *stream)     376 {     377         int mpcc_id = pipe_ctx->plane_res.hubp->inst;     378         struct mpc *mpc = pipe_ctx->stream_res.opp->ctx->dc->res_pool->mpc;     379         const struct pwl_params *params = NULL;     380         bool ret = false;     381     382         /* program OGAM or 3DLUT only for the top pipe*/     383         if (pipe_ctx->top_pipe == NULL) {     384                 /*program rmu shaper and 3dlut in MPC*/     385                 ret = dcn30_set_mpc_shaper_3dlut(pipe_ctx, stream);     386                 if (ret == false && mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma) {                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If this is NULL      387                         if (stream->out_transfer_func.type == TF_TYPE_HWPWL)     388                                 params = &stream->out_transfer_func.pwl;     389                         else if (pipe_ctx->stream->out_transfer_func.type ==     390                                         TF_TYPE_DISTRIBUTED_POINTS &&     391                                         cm3_helper_translate_curve_to_hw_format(     392                                         &stream->out_transfer_func,     393                                         &mpc->blender_params, false))     394                                 params = &mpc->blender_params;     395                          /* there are no ROM LUTs in OUTGAM */     396                         if (stream->out_transfer_func.type == TF_TYPE_PREDEFINED)     397                                 BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER();     398                 }     399         }     400 --> 401         mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma(mpc, mpcc_id, params);                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Then it will crash      402         return ret;     403 }
