Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
accel/ivpu: Fix locking order in ivpu_job_submit<br />
<br />
Fix deadlock in job submission and abort handling.<br />
When a thread aborts currently executing jobs due to a fault,<br />
it first locks the global lock protecting submitted_jobs (#1).<br />
<br />
After the last job is destroyed, it proceeds to release the related context<br />
and locks file_priv (#2). Meanwhile, in the job submission thread,<br />
the file_priv lock (#2) is taken first, and then the submitted_jobs<br />
lock (#1) is obtained when a job is added to the submitted jobs list.<br />
<br />
CPU0 CPU1<br />
---- ----<br />
(for example due to a fault) (jobs submissions keep coming)<br />
<br />
lock(&vdev->submitted_jobs_lock) #1<br />
ivpu_jobs_abort_all()<br />
job_destroy()<br />
lock(&file_priv->lock) #2<br />
lock(&vdev->submitted_jobs_lock) #1<br />
file_priv_release()<br />
lock(&vdev->context_list_lock)<br />
lock(&file_priv->lock) #2<br />
<br />
This order of locking causes a deadlock. To resolve this issue,<br />
change the order of locking in ivpu_job_submit().
