DEBIAN-CVE-2025-40288

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Fix NULL pointer dereference in VRAM logic for APU devices Previously, APU platforms (and other scenarios with uninitialized VRAM managers) triggered a NULL pointer dereference in ttm_resource_manager_usage(). The root cause is not that the struct ttm_resource_manager *man pointer itself is NULL, but that man->bdev (the backing device pointer within the manager) remains uninitialized (NULL) on APUs—since APUs lack dedicated VRAM and do not fully set up VRAM manager structures. When ttm_resource_manager_usage() attempts to acquire man->bdev->lru_lock, it dereferences the NULL man->bdev, leading to a kernel OOPS. 1. amdgpu_cs.c: Extend the existing bandwidth control check in amdgpu_cs_get_threshold_for_moves() to include a check for ttm_resource_manager_used(). If the manager is not used (uninitialized bdev), return 0 for migration thresholds immediately—skipping VRAM-specific logic that would trigger the NULL dereference. 2. amdgpu_kms.c: Update the AMDGPU_INFO_VRAM_USAGE ioctl and memory info reporting to use a conditional: if the manager is used, return the real VRAM usage; otherwise, return 0. This avoids accessing man->bdev when it is NULL. 3. amdgpu_virt.c: Modify the vf2pf (virtual function to physical function) data write path. Use ttm_resource_manager_used() to check validity: if the manager is usable, calculate fb_usage from VRAM usage; otherwise, set fb_usage to 0 (APUs have no discrete framebuffer to report). This approach is more robust than APU-specific checks because it: - Works for all scenarios where the VRAM manager is uninitialized (not just APUs), - Aligns with TTM's design by using its native helper function, - Preserves correct behavior for discrete GPUs (which have fully initialized man->bdev and pass the ttm_resource_manager_used() check). v4: use ttm_resource_manager_used(&adev->mman.vram_mgr.manager) instead of checking the adev->gmc.is_app_apu flag (Christian)
