AI-suggested
A fix has been implemented in the Linux kernel by setting the no_user_fence flag for the affected VCN v2.0 encoder and decoder rings. Users should update to a Linux kernel version that includes this patch to mitigate the vulnerability. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; users should verify with the vendor or kernel release notes for the exact fixed versions.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/vcn: set no_user_fence for VCN v2.0 enc/dec rings VCN encoder and decoder rings do not support 64-bit user fence writes, reject CS submissions with user fences. (cherry picked from commit e2b5499fca55f1a32960a311bbb62e35891eaf73)
