Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] drm/amd/pm: fix pptable use-after-free
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 13:24:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814172450.176584-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026080538-overrate-sinuous-c96e@gregkh>

From: Yang Wang <kevinyang.wang@amd.com>

[ Upstream commit bb493058c35c8676e48269ab6732688ea733d23c ]

amdgpu_dpm_get_pp_table() returns a pointer to a driver-owned power table
after dropping adev->pm.mutex. The sysfs path then copies from that pointer.
A concurrent pp_table write can replace and free the allocation during the
copy, causing a use-after-free.

Change the DPM interface to copy into caller-provided storage while the mutex
is held. Keep the size-only query for attribute discovery without exposing
the driver-owned pointer.

Fixes: 1684d3ba4885 ("drm/amd/amdgpu: change pptable output format from ASCII to binary")

[ kept 6.18's existing `if (!pp_funcs->get_pp_table) return 0;` guard instead of upstream's SR-IOV/SCPM `-EOPNOTSUPP` guard and dropped the `default_attr_update()` hunk whose `pp_table` branch doesn't exist yet ]
