Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-16 14:07:06 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/guc: Add devm release action to safely tear down CT

When a buffer object (BO) is allocated with the XE_BO_FLAG_GGTT_INVALIDATE
flag, the driver initiates TLB invalidation requests via the CTB mechanism
while releasing the BO. However a premature release of the CTB BO can lead
to system crashes, as observed in:

Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:h2g_write+0x2f3/0x7c0 [xe]
Call Trace:
 guc_ct_send_locked+0x8b/0x670 [xe]
 xe_guc_ct_send_locked+0x19/0x60 [xe]
 send_tlb_invalidation+0xb4/0x460 [xe]

 xe_ggtt_node_remove+0x40/0xa0 [xe]
 xe_ggtt_remove_bo+0x87/0x250 [xe]

Introduce a devm-managed release action during xe_guc_ct_init() and
xe_guc_ct_init_post_hwconfig() to ensure proper CTB disablement before
resource deallocation, preventing the use-after-free scenario.
