AI-suggested
A fix is available that restructures the locking in amdgpu_devcoredump_format to use a single ww_acquire_ctx for all relevant locks, preventing recursive mutex acquisition and deadlocks. Users should apply the updated Linux kernel versions containing this fix. No additional mitigations are indicated.
Description
CVE-2026-80919 is a medium-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver where recursive acquisition of a ww_mutex lock in amdgpu_devcoredump_format could cause a self-deadlock. This occurs during the dumping of IB contents from a hung job when the same mutex is acquired multiple times without proper lock context, leading to kernel warnings and potential deadlock. The issue has been fixed by restructuring the locking mechanism to use a single ww_acquire_ctx, preventing recursive locking.
