Linux i915 GPU kernel driver (HuC firmware load): The HuC delayed-loading fence is not released when probe fails early
Impact
The HuC delayed-loading fence is not released when probe fails early, leaving the driver in a broken state. Matters on nodes where the HuC firmware blob is missing or mismatched, which is a common outcome of an incomplete linux-firmware package in a slim container host image.
Who can reach it
Triggered on driver probe - so on node boot, not by a tenant.
What to do
Kernel update plus reboot. Also confirm the linux-firmware package on the node actually contains the matching GuC/HuC blobs for the installed silicon; a missing blob is what exposes this path in the first place.
