Re: [PATCH] drm/i915/gvt: fix double-free bug in split_2MB_gtt_entry.

[Zheng Hacker]

Hi Greg,

Alex has explained how we figured out the patch. We did analyze the
code and found it possible to reach the vulnerability code. But we
have no physical device in hand to test the driver. So we'd like to
discuss with developers to see if the issue exists or not.

Best regards,
Zheng Wang.
