📋 Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Validate CRIU-restored IDs before idr_alloc

The KFD CRIU restore flow restores previously saved object IDs from userspace.

For event restore:

kfd_criu_restore_event() -> create_signal_event() / create_other_event() -> allocate_event_notification_slot() -> idr_alloc(..., *restore_id, *restore_id + 1, ...)

For BO restore:

criu_restore_memory_of_gpu() -> idr_alloc(..., bo_priv->idr_handle, ...)

In both cases, the restored ID comes from userspace-provided CRIU data.

idr_alloc() expects the ID range values to fit within signed int limits. If a restored ID is larger than INT_MAX, it can trigger a WARN in the IDR layer.

A kernel WARN is undesirable because it prints a warning trace and may cause a panic or reboot on systems with panic_on_warn enabled.

Smatch reported these paths as allowing unchecked userspace values to reach idr_alloc().

Add INT_MAX validation before using restored IDs in:

  • kfd_criu_restore_event()
  • criu_restore_memory_of_gpu()

If the restored ID is invalid, return -EINVAL.

This prevents invalid restore data from reaching the IDR layer and avoids WARN-triggering paths, while keeping valid restore behavior unchanged.
