Originally introduced to allow freezing and restoring running ROCm containers, the ioctl was linked to CVE-2026-23149 and has seen four failed fix attempts involving race conditions, incorrect variable aliasing, and missing error handling. Kernel maintainer Simona Vetter ultimately disabled the ioctl until proper IGT tests are written and upstreamed, with the change also being backported to stable kernel versions. The impact is limited to users relying on checkpoint/restore for AMD ROCm workloads. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
