Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-09 07:02:16 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: prevent hang on link training fail

[Why]
When link training fails, the phy clock will be disabled. However, in
enable_streams, it is assumed that link training succeeded and the
mux selects the phy clock, causing a hang when a register write is made.

[How]
When enable_stream is hit, check if link training failed. If it did, fall
back to the ref clock to avoid a hang and keep the system in a recoverable
state.
