Summary

In the Linux kernel, a reference leak of mm_struct was found in the aie2_populate_range() function of the accel/amdxdna driver. Jumping to the 'again' label without calling mmput(mm) causes a kernel memory leak.

Risk Assessment

The mm_struct reference leak can gradually exhaust kernel memory, potentially leading to system instability or denial of service (DoS) under prolonged operation.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit adding mmput() before jumping to 'again').
