In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vgem-fence: Fix potential deadlock on release
A timer that expires a vgem fence automatically in 10 seconds is now
released with timer_delete_sync() from fence->ops.release() called on last
dma_fence_put(). In some scenarios, it can run in IRQ context, which is
not safe unless TIMER_IRQSAFE is used. One potentially risky scenario was
demonstrated in Intel DRM CI trybot, BAT run on machine bat-adlp-6, while
working on new IGT subtests syncobj_timeline@stress-* as user space
replacements of some problematic test cases of a dma-fence-chain selftest
[1].
