> If there's no interest getting Ubuntu to work with AMD gpu compute, then do I need to use something other than Ubuntu?
Sigh. Really? We're not pulling security fixes out of the kernel just for a few users of an out-of-tree kernel module. It leaves *all* users of the in-tree amdpgpu module vulnerable. That is not acceptable. And besides any other distro with a recent enough kernel will present you with the same problem. We're talking about an upstream kernel commit that will land everywhere, so switching distros will likely not help. https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-39498 This is considerate a security issue (that is debatable) which means it could land in older kernel as well. I'll reiterate, this really needs to be fixed in the out-of-tree DKMS. It looks like AMD is working on it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3628 https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/3701 ** Bug watch added: gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues #3628 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3628 ** CVE added: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2024-39498 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2080823 Title: 6.8.0-44 breaks amdgpu-dkms 6.8.5 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Ubuntu 24.04.1 6.8.0-44 causes compile failure of amdgpu-dkms (6.8.5 from AMD partner) ``` linux-image-generic 6.8.0-44.44 amd64 Generic Linux kernel image amdgpu-dkms 1:6.8.5.60200-2009582.24.04 amdgpu driver in DKMS format. noble/main amdgpu-dkms-firmware 1:6.8.5.60200-2009582.24.04 firmware blobs used by amdgpu driver in DKMS format noble/main ``` The 6.8.0-44 kernel includes : * Noble update: upstream stable patchset 2024-07-25 (LP: #2074091) - drm/mst: Fix NULL pointer dereference at drm_dp_add_payload_part2 <---- This is the one This one causes a compile failure in amdgpu-dkms 6.8.5 , detected from rocm6.2 users and initially reported there, but i believe it should be fixed in Ubuntu who backported the fix causing the bug. https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/3701 https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/3701#issuecomment-2351247361 contains a trivial patch on the amdgpu-dkms side, but the problem is introduced by a patch on the kernel ubuntu-6.8. this is very annoying, and proposed workaround on github Amd Rocm are a bit weird (even if they work well) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2080823/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
