[PATCH 6.1.y 2/2] drm/amdgpu: Limit BO list entry count to prevent resource exhaustion

From: Fang Wang

Date: Mon Apr 27 2026 - 02:59:04 EST


From: "Jesse.Zhang" <Jesse.Zhang@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 6270b1a5dab94665d7adce3dc78bc9066ed28bdd ]

Userspace can pass an arbitrary number of BO list entries via the
bo_number field. Although the previous multiplication overflow check
prevents out-of-bounds allocation, a large number of entries could still
cause excessive memory allocation (up to potentially gigabytes) and
unnecessarily long list processing times.

Introduce a hard limit of 128k entries per BO list, which is more than
sufficient for any realistic use case (e.g., a single list containing all
buffers in a large scene). This prevents memory exhaustion attacks and
ensures predictable performance.

Return -EINVAL if the requested entry count exceeds the limit
