[PATCH] accel/rocket: Validate task regcmd address and count on submission

From: Sidong Yang

Date: Sat Jul 11 2026 - 02:22:00 EST


The regcmd fields in drm_rocket_task come from userspace and are
programmed into the PC unit without any validation.

Bits 31:4 of PC_BASE_ADDRESS hold the register command DMA address
and bit 0 selects slave mode, so a misaligned regcmd silently drops
its low bits, and an odd address flips the PC unit into slave mode.
Similarly, pc_data_amount is a 16-bit field holding
(regcmd_count + 1) / 2 - 1, so a larger regcmd_count is silently
truncated by the register encoding.

Reject unaligned regcmd addresses and out-of-range regcmd_count with
-EINVAL at submission time. Existing userspace is not affected: Mesa
places regcmd buffers at 64-byte aligned offsets, and its regcmd
counts stay far below the limit.
