Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Fix potential memory leak in DMUB hw_init [Why]
On resume we perform DMUB hw_init which allocates memory:
dm_resume->dm_dmub_hw_init->dc_dmub_srv_create->kzalloc
That results in memory leak in suspend/resume scenarios. [How]
Allocate memory for the DC wrapper to DMUB only if it was not
allocated before.
No need to reallocate it on suspend/resume.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: drm/amd/display: corrige una posible pérdida de memoria en DMUB hw_init [Por qué] Al reanudar ejecutamos DMUB hw_init que asigna memoria: dm_resume->dm_dmub_hw_init->dc_dmub_srv_create->kzalloc Eso resulta en pérdida de memoria en escenarios de suspensión/reanudación. [Cómo] Asigne memoria para el contenedor DC a DMUB solo si no se asignó antes. No es necesario reasignarlo al suspender/reanudar.
