Subject: [PATCH 3/3] drm/nouveau/gsp: Fix NULL dereference in nvkm_gsp_gcx_ready()
Date: Fri, 02 Oct 2026 12:09:14 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261002-my-fixups-v1-3-a83d20f9d3fe@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261002-my-fixups-v1-0-a83d20f9d3fe@gmail.com>

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>

Commit cb4c7603678c ("drm/nouveau/gsp/r570: Add support for
INTERNAL_GCX_ENTRY_PREREQUISITE") hooked nvif_device_gcx_ready() into
nouveau_pmops_runtime_suspend() to consult GSP before runtime suspend.

On GPUs running without GSP-RM (e.g. Volta GV100, NvGspRm=0, or missing
GSP firmware blobs), device->gsp is instantiated but gsp->rm remains
NULL. nvkm_udevice_gcx_ready() checked "!gsp" instead of verifying
nvkm_gsp_rm(gsp), allowing non-RM instances to invoke
nvkm_gsp_gcx_ready(). nvkm_gsp_gcx_ready() then unconditionally
dereferenced gsp->rm->api, causing a kernel oops:

  RIP: 0010:nvkm_gsp_gcx_ready+0x10/0x30 [nouveau]
  Code: ... 48 8b 87 70 0e 00 00 <48> 8b 40 18 ...
  RAX: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8c9555fca000
  Call Trace:
   nvkm_udevice_mthd+0xa5/0x150 [nouveau]
   nvkm_ioctl+0xcc/0x1d0 [nouveau]
   nvif_object_mthd+0x110/0x1e0 [nouveau]
   nvif_device_gcx_ready+0x36/0x60 [nouveau]
   nouveau_pmops_runtime_suspend+0x39/0x140 [nouveau]

Instruction decode shows `mov rax, [rdi+0xe70]` loads gsp->rm (0x0),
and `<48> 8b 40 18` (`mov rax, [rax+0x18]`) faults accessing rm->api.

Fix by:
0. Checking !nvkm_gsp_rm(gsp) in nvkm_udevice_gcx_ready() so non-RM
   devices report GC6/GcOff ready and bypass the GSP call entirely.
1. Guarding gsp and gsp->rm in nvkm_gsp_gcx_ready() before inspecting
   gsp->rm->api->gsp->gcx_ready.
