Subject: [PATCH v3 12/22] accel: ethosu: Reject unsupported commands
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 17:04:49 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260908-ethosu-fixes-v3-12-490fe215286f@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260908-ethosu-fixes-v3-0-490fe215286f@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")
