In function displback_changed, has the call chain displback_connect(front_info)->xen_drm_drv_init(front_info). We can see that drm_info is assigned to front_info->drm_info and drm_info is freed in fail branch in xen_drm_drv_init().
Later displback_disconnect(front_info) is called and it calls xen_drm_drv_fini(front_info) cause a use after free by drm_info = front_info->drm_info statement.
My patch has done two things. First fixes the fail label which drm_info = kzalloc() failed and still free the drm_info. Second sets front_info->drm_info to NULL to avoid uaf.
