[PATCH v2] accel/amdxdna: fix NULL deref and GEM object leak in error paths

From: Deniz Aydogan

Date: Sat Aug 29 2026 - 04:56:57 EST


amdxdna_cmd_submit() does not set job->cmd_bo for internal driver
commands that pass AMDXDNA_INVALID_BO_HANDLE. When such a job hits
an error or completes normally, both the submit error path and
amdxdna_sched_job_cleanup() call amdxdna_gem_put_obj(job->cmd_bo)
unconditionally, dereferencing NULL.

Separately, amdxdna_cmd_set_error() acquires a GEM reference via
amdxdna_gem_get_obj() when handling a chained command, but leaks it
when the subsequent amdxdna_gem_vmap() returns NULL.

Guard all three amdxdna_gem_put_obj(job->cmd_bo) call sites with a
NULL check and release the GEM reference on vmap failure.
