CVE-2025-68244

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:drm/i915: Avoid lock inversion when pinning to GGTT on CHV/BXT+VTDOn completion of i915_vma_pin_ww(), a synchronous variant ofdma_fence_work_commit() is called. When pinning a VMA to GGTT addressspace on a Cherry View family processor, or on a Broxton generation SoCwith VTD enabled, i.e., when stop_machine() is then called fromintel_ggtt_bind_vma(), that can potentially lead to lock inversion amongreservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks.[86.861179] ======================================================[86.861193] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected[86.861209] 6.15.0-rc5-CI_DRM_16515-gca0305cadc2d+ #1 Tainted: G U[86.861226] ------------------------------------------------------[86.861238] i915_module_loa/1432 is trying to acquire lock:[86.861252] ffffffff83489090 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}, at: stop_machine+0x1c/0x50[86.861290]but task is already holding lock:[86.861303] ffffc90002e0b4c8 (reservation_ww_class_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: i915_vma_pin.constprop.0+0x39/0x1d0 [i915][86.862233]which lock already depends on the new lock.[86.862251]the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:[86.862265]-> #5 (reservation_ww_class_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}:[86.862292] dma_resv_lockdep+0x19a/0x390[86.862315] do_one_initcall+0x60/0x3f0[86.862334] kernel_init_freeable+0x3cd/0x680[86.862353] kernel_init+0x1b/0x200[86.862369] ret_from_fork+0x47/0x70[86.862383] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30[86.862399]-> #4 (reservation_ww_class_acquire){+.+.}-{0:0}:[86.862425] dma_resv_lockdep+0x178/0x390[86.862440] do_one_initcall+0x60/0x3f0[86.862454] kernel_init_freeable+0x3cd/0x680[86.862470] kernel_init+0x1b/0x200[86.862482] ret_from_fork+0x47/0x70[86.862495] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30[86.862509]-> #3 (&mm->mmap_lock){++++}-{3:3}:[86.862531] down_read_killable+0x46/0x1e0[86.862546] lock_mm_and_find_vma+0xa2/0x280[86.862561] do_user_addr_fault+0x266/0x8e0[86.862578] exc_page_fault+0x8a/0x2f0[86.862593] asm_exc_page_fault+0x27/0x30[86.862607] filldir64+0xeb/0x180[86.862620] kernfs_fop_readdir+0x118/0x480[86.862635] iterate_dir+0xcf/0x2b0[86.862648] __x64_sys_getdents64+0x84/0x140[86.862661] x64_sys_call+0x1058/0x2660[86.862675] do_syscall_64+0x91/0xe90[86.862689] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e[86.862703]-> #2 (&root->kernfs_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}:[86.862725] down_write+0x3e/0xf0[86.862738] kernfs_add_one+0x30/0x3c0[86.862751] kernfs_create_dir_ns+0x53/0xb0[86.862765] internal_create_group+0x134/0x4c0[86.862779] sysfs_create_group+0x13/0x20[86.862792] topology_add_dev+0x1d/0x30[86.862806] cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x4b5/0x850[86.862822] cpuhp_issue_call+0xbf/0x1f0[86.862836] __cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked+0x111/0x320[86.862852] __cpuhp_setup_state+0xb0/0x220[86.862866] topology_sysfs_init+0x30/0x50[86.862879] do_one_initcall+0x60/0x3f0[86.862893] kernel_init_freeable+0x3cd/0x680[86.862908] kernel_init+0x1b/0x200[86.862921] ret_from_fork+0x47/0x70[86.862934] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30[86.862947]-> #1 (cpuhp_state_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}:[86.862969] __mutex_lock+0xaa/0xed0[86.862982] mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x30[86.862995] __cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked+0x67/0x320[86.863012] __cpuhp_setup_state+0xb0/0x220[86.863026] page_alloc_init_cpuhp+0x2d/0x60[86.863041] mm_core_init+0x22/0x2d0[86.863054] start_kernel+0x576/0xbd0[86.863068] x86_64_start_reservations+0x18/0x30[86.863084] x86_64_start_kernel+0xbf/0x110[86.863098] common_startup_64+0x13e/0x141[86.863114]-> #0 (cpu_hotplug_lock){++++}-{0:0}:[86.863135] __lock_acquire+0x16---truncated---
