Subject: [PATCH] accel/habanalabs: reject zero-element timestamp buffer allocation
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:35:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213173530.2963318-1-n7l8m4@u.northwestern.edu> (raw)

A user can issue a DRM_IOCTL_HL_MEMORY ioctl with
op=HL_MEM_OP_TS_ALLOC and num_of_elements=0. The
allocate_timestamps_buffers() function only validates the upper bound
(> TS_MAX_ELEMENTS_NUM) but not zero, allowing num_of_elements=0 to
reach vmalloc_user(0 * sizeof(u64)), which triggers WARN_ON_ONCE(!size)
in __vmalloc_node_range().

On systems with panic_on_warn=1, this allows a local user with device
access to crash the kernel.

Add a zero check to the existing validation, matching the pattern
already present in HL_MEM_OP_ALLOC (memory.c:2214).

Fixes: 9158bf69e74f ("habanalabs: Timestamps buffers registration")
