The advisory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: change vm->task_info handling
This patch changes the handling and lifecycle of vm->task_info object.
The major changes are:
- vm->task_info is a dynamically allocated ptr now, and its uasge is
reference counted.
- introducing two new helper funcs for task_info lifecycle management
- amdgpu_vm_get_task_info: reference counts up task_info before
returning this info
- amdgpu_vm_put_task_info: reference counts down task_info
- last put to task_info() frees task_info from the vm.
This patch also does logistical changes required for existing usage
of vm->task_info.
V2: Do not block all the prints when task_info not found (Felix)
V3: Fixed review comments from Felix
- Fix wrong indentation
- No debug message for -ENOMEM
- Add NULL check for task_info
- Do not duplicate the debug messages (ti vs no ti)
- Get first reference of task_info in vm_init(), put last
in vm_fini()
V4: Fixed review comments from Felix
- fix double reference increment in create_task_info
- change amdgpu_vm_get_task_info_pasid
- additional changes in amdgpu_gem.c while porting
Check your whole app
Dependencies are only half of it. Free and read-only: before you push, run npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000 in your project folder, no account needed. For your live app, you prove it's yours with a one-line tag first.
