Userspace can submit command streams with IB addresses whose low two
bits are set. On all hardware that amdgpu supports, those bits are
reserved (they encoded byte-swap mode on pre-amdgpu legacy HW).
Today these addresses pass through the CS parser unchecked and hit
BUG_ON(addr & 0x3) assertions in ring emission callbacks across
gfx_v9 through gfx_v12 and sdma_v4 through sdma_v7 (35 call sites),
crashing the kernel.
Patch 1 adds an early -EINVAL rejection in the CS parser before the
IB is allocated, plus a defense-in-depth WARN_ON_ONCE in
amdgpu_ib_schedule() to catch any that slip through from other code
paths.
Patch 2 is a trivial cleanup: removing a dead BUG_ON(!bo_va) in
amdgpu_cs_vm_handling() that is unreachable due to the NULL check on
the line above.
A follow-up series could convert the 35 downstream BUG_ON(addr & 0x3)
assertions in the ring emit_ib callbacks to WARN_ON_ONCE, but that is
a larger change and is not included here.
v2:
- Rebased onto amd-staging-drm-next (was incorrectly based on a
local branch in v1 — thanks Christian for catching this)
- Split the dead-code BUG_ON removal into a separate patch
- Moved the check before amdgpu_ib_get() to avoid unnecessary
IB allocation on bad input
- Added Fixes: tag and Cc: stable

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.

Remove the BUG_ON(!bo_va) in amdgpu_cs_vm_handling() that is
unreachable: bo_va is assigned from fpriv->csa_va on the line
directly above, inside an if (fpriv->csa_va) block, so it is
guaranteed to be non-NULL at that point.

Please drop that chunk. Apart from that the patch looks good to me.
