Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-09-04 19:21:01 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: Forward soft recovery errors to userspace

As we discussed before[1], soft recovery should be
forwarded to userspace, or we can get into a really
bad state where apps will keep submitting hanging
command buffers cascading us to a hard reset.
