CVE-2026-23466

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

drm/xe: Open-code GGTT MMIO access protection

GGTT MMIO access is currently protected by hotplug (drm_dev_enter),

which works correctly when the driver loads successfully and is later

unbound or unloaded. However, if driver load fails, this protection is

insufficient because drm_dev_unplug() is never called.

Additionally, devm release functions cannot guarantee that all BOs with

GGTT mappings are destroyed before the GGTT MMIO region is removed, as

some BOs may be freed asynchronously by worker threads.

To address this, introduce an open-coded flag, protected by the GGTT

lock, that guards GGTT MMIO access. The flag is cleared during the

dev_fini_ggtt devm release function to ensure MMIO access is disabled

once teardown begins.
