idx can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability. This issue was detected with the help of Smatch: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_bufs.c:1420 drm_legacy_freebufs() warn: potential spectre issue 'dma->buflist' [r] (local cap) Fix this by sanitizing idx before using it to index dma->buflist Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be completed with a dependent load/store [1].
