Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU graphics driver. Multiple issues exist within the `AMDGPU_INFO_READ_MMR_REG` function, including an incorrect order of operations between the reset semaphore and the memory management lock, and memory allocation while holding the reset semaphore. These issues can lead to a system deadlock, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for affected systems.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-26 21:01:30 UTC

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

drm/amdgpu: fix AMDGPU_INFO_READ_MMR_REG

There were multiple issues in that code.

First of all the order between the reset semaphore and the mm_lock was
wrong (e.g. copy_to_user) was called while holding the lock.

Then we allocated memory while holding the reset semaphore which is also
a pretty big bug and can deadlock.

Then we used down_read_trylock() instead of waiting for the reset to
finish.

(cherry picked from commit 361b6e6b303d4b691f6c5974d3eaab67ca6dd90e)
