AI-Generated

The vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects the amdgpu driver, specifically related to the handling of GPU reset operations, which can lead to an indefinite wait on pending fences for queues in non-MAPPED states. This can cause system hangs, blocking critical processes and potentially leading to a complete system freeze. Organizations using Linux systems with AMD GPUs should prioritize addressing this issue to ensure system stability and prevent operational disruptions.

Original NVD Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/userq: fix indefinite fence wait during GPU reset pre_reset only force-completes fences of MAPPED queues. A queue in any other state (e.g. mid-eviction) keeps its last_fence pending; after a GPU reset that fence never signals, so the eviction/suspend worker and process teardown (amdgpu_evf_mgr_flush_suspend) wait on it forever and wedge the machine: INFO: task kworker/6:28 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Workqueue: events amdgpu_eviction_fence_suspend_worker [amdgpu] Call Trace: dma_fence_wait_timeout+0x7e/0x130 amdgpu_userq_evict+0x67/0x140 [amdgpu] amdgpu_eviction_fence_suspend_worker+0xd8/0x160 [amdgpu] process_scheduled_works+0xa6/0x420 Force-complete every queue's fence regardless of state. The unmap and mark-hung step stays gated on MAPPED, since unmapping a queue that is not mapped is invalid. (cherry picked from commit 9102b39fa924dcc3dc75a3137bfa9633c40b88c0)
