CVE-2026-98176

drm/amdkfd: Avoid integer underflow with ffs in EOP ring size calc

Published Oct 6, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.0 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Avoid integer underflow with ffs in EOP ring size calc

The low 6 bits of cp_hqd_eop_control store the base-2 logarithm
of the EOP ring size. This was calculated as

ffs(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / sizeof(unsigned int)) - 1 - 1

But ffs can in theory return 1 or 0, so this could underflow
(although in practice the ring buffer size cannot be less than 4096).

Change this to

ffs(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / sizeof(unsigned int) / 4)

using properties of logarithms.

(cherry picked from commit 4f18c56630383c14bfc6b2d65f88f2f895d2121a)
