CVE-2026-90362: drm/msm/dsi: Drop dev_pm_opp_set_rate(0)

Published Sep 17, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm/dsi: Drop devpmoppsetrate(0)

devpmoppsetrate(0) removes the vote specified in required-opps but does not actually park the clock, making it run without the necessary power backing. Drop the explicit call to it.

Every call site of ops->linkclkdisable() is followed by pmruntimeput(), so the power vote will be rescinded if deemed safe.

Description

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which systems are affected by this issue?

The issue is in the Linux kernel DRM MSM DSI code path. Systems using that display subsystem are the relevant scope; the provided data does not identify specific devices or kernel versions.

2

What condition causes the unsafe clock state?

It occurs when dev_pm_opp_set_rate(0) is called: that removes the required-opps power vote without actually parking the clock, allowing the clock to run without the necessary power backing.

3

What is the remediation described by the fix?

The fix removes the explicit dev_pm_opp_set_rate(0) call. The subsequent pm_runtime_put() after ops->link_clk_disable() rescinds the power vote when it is safe to do so.
