Summary

In the Linux kernel DRM/XE driver, GGTT MMIO access protection relied on hotplug (drm_dev_enter), which failed on driver load failure. An open-coded flag protected by the GGTT lock was added to disable MMIO access during teardown.

Risk Assessment

On driver load failure or asynchronous buffer freeing, access to a removed MMIO region may occur, leading to a system crash.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that open-codes GGTT MMIO access protection.

Original NVD description (English source)

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. (cherry picked from commit 4f3a998a173b4325c2efd90bdadc6ccd3ad9a431)
