CVE-2024-57920: drm/amdkfd: wq_release signals dma_fence only when available
First published: Sun Jan 19 2025(Updated: )
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: wq_release signals dma_fence only when available kfd_process_wq_release() signals eviction fence by dma_fence_signal() which wanrs if dma_fence is NULL. kfd_process->ef is initialized by kfd_process_device_init_vm() through ioctl. That means the fence is NULL for a new created kfd_process, and close a kfd_process right after open it will trigger the warning. This commit conditionally signals the eviction fence in kfd_process_wq_release() only when it is available.
