What it is

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

drm/xe: Process deferred GGTT node removals on device unwind

While we are indirectly draining our dedicated workqueue ggtt->wq

that we use to complete asynchronous removal of some GGTT nodes,

this happends as part of the managed-drm unwinding (ggtt_fini_early),

which could be later then manage-device unwinding, where we could

already unmap our MMIO/GMS mapping (mmio_fini).

This was recently observed during unsuccessful VF initialization:

[ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: probe with driver xe failed with error -62

[ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747340 __xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm (16 bytes)

[ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef80140 ggtt_fini_early (8 bytes)

and this was leading to:

[ ] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffc900058162a0

[ ] #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode

[ ] #PF: error_code(0x0002) - not-present page

Add managed-device action that will explicitly drain the workqueue

with all pending node removals prior to releasing MMIO/GSM mapping.
