Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU (amdgpu) driver. During recovery from a graphics processing unit (GPU) reset, background power management tasks can attempt to change power profiles before the reset completes. This improper synchronization causes hardware register access while reset locks are still held, triggering a kernel assertion failure. A local user could exploit this condition to crash the operating system, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-14 13:44:40 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: skip gfx switch_power_profile during GPU reset

During resume from GPU reset, the gfx idle work may invoke switch_power_profile
before the reset completes. This causes the following assert error because the
register access occurs without first releasing the GPU reset semaphore:
