commit f0b408eebc993310bea3f2daae286c40bd3f063b upstream.
Clear the old_state and new_state pointers for every object in
drm_atomic_state_default_clear(). Otherwise
drm_atomic_get_{new,old}_*_state() will hand out stale pointers to
anyone who hasn't first confirmed that the object is in fact part of
the current atomic transcation, if they are called after we've done
the ww backoff dance while hanging on to the same drm_atomic_state.
For example, handle_conflicting_encoders() looks like it could hit
this since it iterates the full connector list and just calls
drm_atomic_get_new_connector_state() for each.
And I believe we have now witnessed this happening at least once in
i915 check_digital_port_conflicts(). Commit 8b69449d2663 ("drm/i915:
Remove last references to drm_atomic_get_existing* macros") changed
the safe drm_atomic_get_existing_connector_state() to the unsafe
drm_atomic_get_new_connector_state(), which opened the doors for
this particular bug there as well.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
