Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> drm/vmwgfx: Remove rcu locks from user resources<br /> <br /> User resource lookups used rcu to avoid two extra atomics. Unfortunately<br /> the rcu paths were buggy and it was easy to make the driver crash by<br /> submitting command buffers from two different threads. Because the<br /> lookups never show up in performance profiles replace them with a<br /> regular spin lock which fixes the races in accesses to those shared<br /> resources.<br /> <br /> Fixes kernel oops&amp;#39;es in IGT&amp;#39;s vmwgfx execution_buffer stress test and<br /> seen crashes with apps using shared resources.
