Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU (amdgpu) driver. When the Multimedia Engine Scheduler (MES) fails to initialize during driver loading, the Kernel Input Queue (KIQ) ring is incorrectly marked as ready. This can lead to a kernel panic, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) to the system.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 12:27:42 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: Fix kernel panic during driver load failure

Avoid kernel panic if MES init fails during driver load. The KIQ ring is
falsely marked as ready as ASICs that use MES, KIQ is owned by MES.
