Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Guard page-fault worker with runtime PM check
During VM teardown, the VM's runtime PM reference is dropped asynchronously, allowing the device to autosuspend while stale page faults belonging to the now-dead VM are still queued. When the page-fault worker later tries to ack one of these, it calls into guc_ct_send_locked() on an already-suspended device, tripping:
Assertion !xe_pm_runtime_suspended(xe) failed! WARNING at xe_device.c:1267 xe_device_assert_mem_access+0x11c/0x140 [xe]
A live VM/exec queue always holds a PM reference while it has outstanding work, so if the device is suspended at ack time, the owning context is already gone and the fault is stale.
Take a runtime PM reference across the entire pagefault queue worker to safely deliver acks for torn-down VMs.
v3:
- Move PM ref to the generic xe_pagefault_queue_work using
guard(xe_pm_runtime)(xe) instead of tracking it in the GuC backend(Matt Brost).
v2:
- Hold PM ref across the entire batch (begin/end) instead of per-ack.
This prevents the device from autosuspending mid-batch, which would leave write_only acks written but the end flush skipped, and skip counter++, desyncing the cadence check.(Himal)
- Add a comment explaining stale faults.(Himal)
