Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD GPU (amdgpu) driver. A local user with access to the debugfs interface can trigger an interrupted lock operation during device testing, which prevents the driver from releasing an acquired runtime power management reference. Consequently, the graphics processing unit (GPU) cannot enter power-saving suspend states, leading to increased power consumption and resource exhaustion.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-18 15:21:29 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu: Fix runtime PM leak in amdgpu_debugfs_test_ib_show()

amdgpu_debugfs_test_ib_show() resumes the device with
pm_runtime_get_sync() before taking the reset domain semaphore with
down_write_killable().  If the write lock acquisition is interrupted,
the function returns without calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(),
leaking the runtime PM reference acquired for the device and keeping
the GPU awake.

Drop the runtime PM reference on the interrupted down_write_killable()
error path before returning.

(cherry picked from commit ec30a576c2d4c0364549e6c04218f50704ef56c8)
