Subject: [PATCH 1/3] drm/xe/exec: Limit num_syncs to prevent oversized allocations
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 19:05:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205190506.2426471-6-shuicheng.lin@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251205190506.2426471-5-shuicheng.lin@intel.com>
The exec ioctl allows userspace to specify an arbitrary num_syncs
value. Without bounds checking, a very large num_syncs can force
an excessively large allocation, leading to kernel warnings from
the page allocator as below.
Introduce XE_MAX_SYNCS (set to 1024) and reject any request
exceeding this limit.
