Subject: CVE-2026-68237: drm/amdgpu/userq: fix indefinite fence wait during GPU reset
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:59:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026081018-CVE-2026-68237-4f0d@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
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.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
