In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Avoid integer underflow with ffs in EOP ring size calc
The low 6 bits of cp_hqd_eop_control store the base-2 logarithm
of the EOP ring size. This was calculated as
ffs(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / sizeof(unsigned int)) - 1 - 1
But ffs can in theory return 1 or 0, so this could underflow
(although in practice the ring buffer size cannot be less than 4096).
Change this to
ffs(q->eop_ring_buffer_size / sizeof(unsigned int) / 4)
using properties of logarithms.
(cherry picked from commit 4f18c56630383c14bfc6b2d65f88f2f895d2121a)
