2022-09-15 14:57:35 Stefan Bader description The kernel 5.15 amdgpu module crashes on load with a “BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference” on Amazon EC2 G4ad hardware (custom AMD Radeon V520 Pro datacenter GPU) on focal (HWE) and jammy with kernel 5.15.0-1011 and possibly earlier, up through latest (revision 1015.19). This crash bug did not exist in any of the focal HWE 5.13 kernels. This is probably an upstream kernel bug, but I am also filing it here because existing focal users on EC2 will suddenly stop having access to their AMD GPUs after a reboot once the new 5.15 HWE kernel is installed. The full backtrace from dmesg is below. The offending function call which crashes in the 5.15 kernel corresponds to this source (sorry, not the right source tree, but the same driver) https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/8bb7eca972ad531c9b149c0a51ab43a417385813/drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_fb.c#L345 A workaround that I have discovered is adding “options amdgpu virtual_display=;” to a new modprobe.d configuration file - something which shouldn’t be required, but is at least harmless. Here is the relevant BUG message and backtrace from dmesg: [ 318.111721] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000 [ 318.115443] #PF: supervisor instruction fetch in kernel mode [ 318.118443] #PF: error_code(0x0010) - not-present page [ 318.121177] PGD 0 P4D 0 [ 318.122688] Oops: 0010 [#1] SMP NOPTI [ 318.124592] CPU: 6 PID: 13667 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 5.15.0-1015-aws #19~20.04.1-Ubuntu [ 318.129711] Hardware name: Amazon EC2 g4ad.2xlarge/, BIOS 1.0 10/16/2017 [ 318.133167] RIP: 0010:0x0 [ 318.134704] Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at RIP 0xffffffffffffffd6.

This causes crashes for cloud/VM users back to Focal (using rolling cloud or HWE kernels). Fix: Upstream stable 5.15.61 contains a fix for this which is only needed there since later kernel version have that code rewritten again. This change would get picked up normally in the next stable cycle after 2022.09.19. But given the impact we would apply the following patch from 5.15.61 ahead of time: commit 27f8f5219fe4658537ba28fd01657e1062ac3960 linux-5.15.y "drm/amdgpu: fix check in fbdev init" Test case: Booting the affected kernel on a VM which passes through AMD GPU hardware. Regression potential: Worst case some driver functions will not get disabled where they did before. --- original description --- The kernel 5.15 amdgpu module crashes on load with a “BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference” on Amazon EC2 G4ad hardware (custom AMD Radeon V520 Pro datacenter GPU) on focal (HWE) and jammy with kernel 5.15.0-1011 and possibly earlier, up through latest (revision 1015.19).
