Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Fix potential ADE in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang()
The switch case in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang() may not DC2 or DC3, and
readl(crtc_reg) will access with random address, because the "device" is
from "base+PCI_DEVICE_ID", "base" is from "pdev->devfn+1". This is wrong
when my platform inserts a discrete GPU:
lspci -tv
-[0000:00]-+-00.0 Loongson Technology LLC Hyper Transport Bridge Controller
...
+-06.0 Loongson Technology LLC LG100 GPU
+-06.2 Loongson Technology LLC Device 7a37
...
Add a default switch case to fix the panic as below:
