What it is

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

drm/amdgpu: fix bo->pin leaking in amdgpu_bo_create_reserved

amdgpu_bo_create_reserved() only allocates a new BO when

*bo_ptr (struct amdgpu_bo **bo_ptr as input parameter) is

NULL, it simply skips creation when *bo_ptr is non-NULL.

But it unconditionally reserves, pins, gart allocates

and maps the BO afterwards.

When the same non-NULL BO pointer is passed in again,

for example firmware buffers that live in adev and are

re-loaded on every resume / cp_resume / start

under AMDGPU_FW_LOAD_DIRECT, amdgpu_bo_pin() just increases

pin_count unconditionally, however the matching teardown only unpins

once, so pin_count never drops to zero, so TTM is not able

to move, swap or evict a BO, causing BO leaks.

This commit fixes this issue by only pinning the bo

once at creation, and repeated calls no longer

take additional pin references.

(cherry picked from commit 3ddc0ae76202c447b6aec61e907b852bc94671cf)
