Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 12:31:27 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu/userq: fix indefinite fence wait during GPU reset

pre_reset only force-completes fences of MAPPED queues. A queue in any
other state (e.g. mid-eviction) keeps its last_fence pending; after a
GPU reset that fence never signals, so the eviction/suspend worker and
process teardown (amdgpu_evf_mgr_flush_suspend) wait on it forever and
wedge the machine:

  INFO: task kworker/6:28 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
  Workqueue: events amdgpu_eviction_fence_suspend_worker [amdgpu]
  Call Trace:
   dma_fence_wait_timeout+0x7e/0x130
   amdgpu_userq_evict+0x67/0x140 [amdgpu]
   amdgpu_eviction_fence_suspend_worker+0xd8/0x160 [amdgpu]
   process_scheduled_works+0xa6/0x420

Force-complete every queue's fence regardless of state. The unmap and
mark-hung step stays gated on MAPPED, since unmapping a queue that is
not mapped is invalid.

(cherry picked from commit 9102b39fa924dcc3dc75a3137bfa9633c40b88c0)
