Kernel warnings via stale partial-mapping offset
Published Dec 2, 2024 · Updated May 11, 2026
A partial GPU mapping flaw in Linux kernel 6.10 allows local users to trigger kernel warnings through Panthor VM bind operations. The Panthor unmap path retains the mapping offset after reaching the starting scatterlist, so ranges crossing multiple scatterlists begin at the wrong location. Reaching the flaw requires local ioctl access and a partial buffer-object mapping with a non-first-page offset; observed consequences are warnings and incomplete GPU unmapping.
