Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Specifically, within the `drm/xe` driver, a vulnerability exists where a virtual machine (VM) not configured for fault handling attempts to process a page fault on an already valid virtual memory area (VMA). This can lead to the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) entering an indefinite retry loop, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) for the system.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 17:13:31 UTC

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

drm/xe: Reject page faults from non-fault-mode scratch VMs

Having scratch enabled does not make a VM capable of handling recoverable
page faults. Allowing scratch VMs through the ASID lookup also admits
dma-fence mode VMs.

If such a VM faults on an already valid VMA, the handler reports success
without fixing the fault, causing the GPU to retry indefinitely.

Only allow fault-mode VMs through the ASID lookup. Fault-mode VMs using
scratch remain supported, while faults from 3D VMs are rejected.

(cherry picked from commit bfb24a06405b652d37831f3fb66b71d33a6605de)
