Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the AMDKFD driver, there is a deadlock during SVM range restore work when a process exits. kfd_process_notifier_release flushes svm_range_restore_work, which can deadlock with deferred_list work when mmput releases the last user and calls exit_mmap.

Risk Assessment

A deadlock can cause system or process hang, leading to unresponsiveness and potential crash.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel patch that moves the flush of svm_range_restore_work to kfd_process_wq_release to avoid deadlock, and adds a reference to mm to prevent it from being freed.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: svm range restore work deadlock when process exit kfd_process_notifier_release flush svm_range_restore_work which calls svm_range_list_lock_and_flush_work to flush deferred_list work, but if deferred_list work mmput release the last user, it will call exit_mmap -> notifier_release, it is deadlock with below backtrace. Move flush svm_range_restore_work to kfd_process_wq_release to avoid deadlock. Then svm_range_restore_work take task->mm ref to avoid mm is gone while validating and mapping ranges to GPU.
