Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:32:50 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/gpusvm: Reject VMAs with VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP when creating SVM ranges

VMAs marked with VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP are not backed by struct page
objects, which GPUSVM requires in order to operate correctly. In
particular, get_pages() relies on hmm_range_fault() to resolve struct
pages for the target range.

Attempting to create an SVM range on such VMAs results in repeated
get_pages() failures and can lead to an infinite loop inside a driver’s
page‑fault handler. Prevent this by rejecting ranges on VM_IO or
VM_PFNMAP VMAs and returning -EIO.
