[PATCH v2] drm/amdgpu/discovery: validate table offset before IP discovery header cast

From: Pavitra Jha

Date: Wed Jul 08 2026 - 02:19:02 EST


Sashiko AI review of the previous fix flagged three remaining gaps in
the discovery blob parser, all stemming from the same root cause: the
ip_discovery_header pointer itself is constructed from a firmware-
controlled offset with no validation before the cast.

ihdr = (struct ip_discovery_header *)(discovery_bin +
le16_to_cpu(bhdr->table_list[IP_DISCOVERY].offset));

This offset is a firmware-controlled u16 read directly from the
discovery blob's table_list, with no bounds check against
adev->discovery.size before being used to construct ihdr. Every
subsequent read from ihdr, including num_dies and die_info[], is
downstream of this unchecked pointer.

The other two items in that review (unbounded ip_offset advancement
via num_base_address, and num_dies exceeding die_info[]'s capacity)
were already addressed in the previous fix.

Fix by validating the table offset in amdgpu_discovery_get_table_info(),
which is the common path used by all callers except
amdgpu_discovery_read_harvest_bit_per_ip() (which reads
table_list[IP_DISCOVERY].offset directly rather than going through
get_table_info()). Add the equivalent check at that direct access site
as well, so all paths that construct an ip_discovery_header pointer
from a table offset are covered.

The check validates the offset itself against adev->discovery.size,
independent of any specific downstream struct size, since
get_table_info() is shared across ten different table types
(IP_DISCOVERY, HARVEST_INFO, GC, MALL_INFO, VCN_INFO, NPS_INFO, and
others) each with differently-sized table structures.
