In the original code:\n\n  if (pqn->q) {\n      ...\n      mqd_mgr = q->device->dqm->mqd_mgrs[mqd_type];\n      size = mqd_mgr->mqd_stride(...);\n  }\n\n  for (xcc = 0; xcc < num_xccs; xcc++) {  // WRONG: outside if block\n      mqd = q->mqd + size * xcc;\n      r = mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd(m, mqd);\n  }\n\nWhen iterating over a queue node where pqn->q is NULL:\n1. The if (pqn->q) block is skipped\n2. mqd_mgr remains uninitialized (NULL from declaration)\n3. The for loop executes anyway\n4. mqd_mgr->debugfs_show_mqd(m, mqd) dereferences NULL\n\nThe crash manifests as:\n\n  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000\n  #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode\n  RIP: 0010:0x0\n  Call Trace:\n   pqm_debugfs_mqds+0x10c/0x1d0 [amdgpu]\n   kfd_debugfs_mqds_by_process+0x9b/0x110 [amdgpu]\n   seq_read_iter+0x132/0x4b0\n   ...\n\nFix by moving the for loop inside the if (pqn->q) block, so mqd_mgr\nand related variables are only used when properly initialized.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 8bfe29d5c798940f797aa24135d2734c3ffce9de)\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
