Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/active: Fix misuse of non-idle barriers as fence trackers
Users reported oopses on list corruptions when using i915 perf with a
number of concurrently running graphics applications. Root cause analysis
pointed at an issue in barrier processing code -- a race among perf open /
close replacing active barriers with perf requests on kernel context and
concurrent barrier preallocate / acquire operations performed during user
context first pin / last unpin.
When adding a request to a composite tracker, we try to reuse an existing
fence tracker, already allocated and registered with that composite. The
tracker we obtain may already track another fence, may be an idle barrier,
or an active barrier.
If the tracker we get occurs a non-idle barrier then we try to delete that
barrier from a list of barrier tasks it belongs to. However, while doing
that we don't respect return value from a function that performs the
