nvbios_vmap_parse() reads the id of the third "max voltage" entry
(max2) from offset 0xc of a version 0x20 voltage map table whenever
the table's *entry* length is at least 0xc. The entry length says
nothing about the size of the header, though. On a GeForce 710M
(GF117) the header is only 0xa bytes long while the entries are 0x26
bytes, so "max2" is actually read from byte 2 of the first voltage map
entry:
header: 20 0a 26 12 01 c8 00 ff ff ff
entry 0: 01 10 50 f8 0c 00 ...
^^ read as max2 = 0x50
There is no vmap entry 0x50 (the table has 0x12 entries), so
nvkm_volt_map() falls back to interpreting the id as a voltage in
10 mV units, and nvkm_cstate_find_best() caps every cstate at 800 mV.
That is below the boot voltage (850 mV) and below what every cstate of
the board needs (900-950 mV), so no cstate is ever valid and setting
any pstate fails with -EINVAL.
Check the header length instead of the entry length before reading
max2.
Fermi reclocking is disabled upstream, so on this board the bug is
only visible with reclocking force-enabled, but the parser runs for
every GPU with a version 0x20 vmap table, including those where
reclocking is enabled.
Tested on the GeForce 710M with Fermi reclocking force-enabled locally:
without this patch, writing pstate 0f fails with -EINVAL; with it, the
pstate is accepted and the core clock goes to 774 MHz.
