Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-28 07:46:01 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/userptr: Hold notifier_lock for write on inject test path

When CONFIG_DRM_XE_USERPTR_INVAL_INJECT=y, xe_pt_svm_userptr_pre_commit()
runs vma_check_userptr() with the svm notifier_lock taken for read. The
test injection causes vma_check_userptr() to call
xe_vma_userptr_force_invalidate(), which feeds into
xe_vma_userptr_do_inval() with drm_gpusvm_ctx.in_notifier=true. That
flag tells drm_gpusvm_unmap_pages() the caller already holds
notifier_lock for write and only asserts the mode. Because the caller
actually holds it for read, the assertion fires:

  WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gpusvm.c:1669 at \
           drm_gpusvm_unmap_pages+0xd4/0x130 [drm_gpusvm_helper]
  Call Trace:

Acquire notifier_lock for write in pre-commit when the inject Kconfig
is enabled, via new helpers xe_pt_svm_userptr_notifier_lock()/_unlock().
Rename xe_svm_assert_held_read() to
xe_svm_assert_held_read_or_inject_write() so it asserts the correct
mode under each build configuration. Production builds
(CONFIG_DRM_XE_USERPTR_INVAL_INJECT=n) keep the existing read-mode
behavior bit-for-bit.

(cherry picked from commit 80ccbd97ffee8ad2e73167d826fe7be548364365)
