In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix oops in xe_gem_fault when running core_hotunplug test.
I saw an oops in xe_gem_fault when running the xe-fast-feedback
testlist against the realtime kernel without debug options enabled.
The panic happens after core_hotunplug unbind-rebind finishes.
Presumably what happens is that a process mmaps, unlocks because
of the FAULT_FLAG_RETRY_NOWAIT logic, has no process memory left,
causing ttm_bo_vm_dummy_page() to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, since
there was nothing left to populate, and then oopses in
"mem_type_is_vram(tbo->resource->mem_type)" because tbo->resource
is NULL.
It's convoluted, but fits the data and explains the oops after
the test exits.
