Subject: [PATCH v2 09/19] accel: ethosu: Reject unsupported commands
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2026 19:43:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260904-ethosu-fixes-v2-9-3767738756a4@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260904-ethosu-fixes-v2-0-3767738756a4@kernel.org>
The command-stream validator does not model U85 branches, indexed DMA,
or OFM transposes. A branch can bypass the linear validation state,
indexed DMA accesses an unchecked index buffer, and a transpose changes
the feature-map address calculation.
Reject those commands and configurations, as well as the reserved DMA
stride mode and feature-map formats. Reject command-stream IRQs because
they can signal job completion before later commands finish.
Fixes: 5a5e9c0228e6 ("accel: Add Arm Ethos-U NPU driver")
