Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drm/imagination: Fix double call to drm_sched_entity_fini()<br />
<br />
Call sequence of double call:<br />
pvr_context_destroy<br />
pvr_context_kill_queues<br />
pvr_queue_kill<br />
drm_sched_entity_destroy<br />
drm_sched_entity_fini // here<br />
pvr_context_put<br />
kref_put(..., pvr_context_release)<br />
pvr_context_destroy_queues<br />
pvr_queue_destroy<br />
drm_sched_entity_fini // here<br />
<br />
Call to drm_sched_entity_destroy() from pvr_context_kill_queues() calls<br />
drm_sched_entity_flush() + drm_sched_entity_fini().<br />
drm_sched_entity_flush() ensures all pending jobs are completed and<br />
drm_sched_entity_fini() ensures no further submission is allowed as<br />
per expectation from pvr_context_kill_queues(). Double call to<br />
drm_sched_entity_fini() is misuse of the API so keep call only in<br />
pvr_context_create() failure path.<br />
<br />

stats in commit fd177135f0e6 ("drm/sched: Account entity GPU time"):<br />
