Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/sched: fix null-ptr-deref in init entity

The bug can be triggered by sending an amdgpu_cs_wait_ioctl
to the AMDGPU DRM driver on any ASICs with valid context.
The bug was reported by Joonkyo Jung <joonkyoj@yonsei.ac.kr>.
For example the following code:

static void Syzkaller2(int fd)
{
union drm_amdgpu_ctx arg1;
union drm_amdgpu_wait_cs arg2;

arg1.in.op = AMDGPU_CTX_OP_ALLOC_CTX;
ret = drmIoctl(fd, 0x140106442 /* amdgpu_ctx_ioctl */, &arg1);

arg2.in.handle = 0x0;
arg2.in.timeout = 0x2000000000000;
arg2.in.ip_type = AMD_IP_VPE /* 0x9 */;
arg2->in.ip_instance = 0x0;
arg2.in.ring = 0x0;
arg2.in.ctx_id = arg1.out.alloc.ctx_id;

drmIoctl(fd, 0xc0206449 /* AMDGPU_WAIT_CS * /, &arg2);
}

The ioctl AMDGPU_WAIT_CS without previously submitted job could be assumed that
the error should be returned, but the following commit 1decbf6bb0b4dc56c9da6c5e57b994ebfc2be3aa
modified the logic and allowed to have sched_rq equal to NULL.

As a result when there is no job the ioctl AMDGPU_WAIT_CS returns success.
The change fixes null-ptr-deref in init entity and the stack below demonstrates
the error condition:
