From: Rob Clark rclark@redhat.com
commit 8a510a5c75261ba0ec39155326982aa786541e29 upstream.
It looks like in all cases 'struct vmw_connector_state' is used. But only in stdu connectors, was atomic_{duplicate,destroy}_state() properly subclassed. Leading to writes beyond the end of the allocated connector state block and all sorts of fun memory corruption related crashes.
