GPU page fault via premature page-table update
Published May 8, 2026 · Updated May 8, 2026
Synchronization failure in the AMDGPU DMA-buffer path in Linux Kernel allows local users to cause a GPU page fault during buffer moves. amdgpu_dma_buf_move_notify passes a reservation ticket that makes amdgpu_vm_handle_moved update a shared buffer's page table before an in-flight blit finishes. The condition requires shared-buffer movement between two GPUs without P2P PCI support, interrupting the affected GPU workload with a page fault.
