Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] drm/amdgpu: reject IB addresses with reserved byte-swap bits
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:08:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424140816.43766-2-jbmoore61@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424140816.43766-1-jbmoore61@gmail.com>
Reject IB GPU addresses with bits [1:0] set early in the CS parser,
before they reach ring emission callbacks. On legacy AMD hardware
(pre-amdgpu era), these two bits encoded byte-swap mode for IB memory
fetches. That feature was dropped on all hardware that amdgpu supports,
but the ring emission paths still contain BUG_ON(addr & 0x3) assertions
that crash the kernel if userspace submits a misaligned IB address.
Add an early check in amdgpu_cs_p2_ib() to reject such submissions
with -EINVAL before the IB is allocated, and a defense-in-depth
WARN_ON_ONCE in amdgpu_ib_schedule() to catch any that slip through
from other code paths.
Fixes: b0635e808290 ("drm/amdgpu: implement GFX 9.0 support (v2)")
