CVE-2025-38104 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the AMDGPU DRM driver affecting RLCG register access. The issue involved a sleeping mutex that could cause priority inversion and invalid wait context, leading to kernel oopses or denial-of-service in SR-IOV and virtualized GPU deployments. The fix replaces the mutex with a non-sleeping spinlock, which has been applied upstream. This tag covers discussions about the vulnerability, its impact on AMD GPU virtualization, and the kernel patch that resolves it.
