drm/ttm: Drop tt->restore after successful restore
Overview
Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/ttm: Drop tt->restore after successful restore ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() can successfully complete the restore process via ttm_pool_restore_commit(), but tt->restore is not dropped afterward. As a result, subsequent backup/restore flows observe what appears to be a completed restore, while in reality shmem handles are still installed in tt->pages, leading to the stack trace below. Fix this by freeing and dropping tt->restore in ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() upon successful completion of the restore. 20545 [  309.784531] RIP: 0010:sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages+0x38c/0x490 20547 [  309.809570] RSP: 0018:ffffc9000623b838 EFLAGS: 00010206 20548 [  309.814827] RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: ffff88816e42a160 RCX: 0000000000000000 20549 [  309.821986] RDX: 0000000000002000 RSI: 0000000000000003 RDI: 0000000000001000 20550 [  309.829147] RBP: ffff88816e42a168 R08: 0000000000000002 R09: 000000007ffff000 20551 [  309.836310] R10: ffffc9000623b928 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 000000007ffff000 20552 [  309.843471] R13: ffff88815ba5a100 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000001 20553 [  309.850634] FS:  00007f9ff305e700(0000) GS:ffff888276c94000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 20554 [  309.858749] CS:  0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 20555 [  309.864519] CR2: 00007f9fca701000 CR3: 00000001565e2005 CR4: 0000000008f70ef0 20556 [  309.871678] PKRU: 55555558 20557 [  309.874403] Call Trace: 20558 [  309.876866]  <TASK> 20559 [  309.878988]  sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment+0x60/0x100 20560 [  309.884415]  ? ttm_resource_manager_usage+0x36/0x60 [ttm] 20561 [  309.889845]  ? xe_tt_map_sg+0x7d/0xd0 [xe] 20562 [  309.894045]  xe_tt_map_sg+0x7d/0xd0 [xe] 20563 [  309.898037]  xe_bo_move+0x927/0xaa0 [xe] 20564 [  309.902029]  ttm_bo_handle_move_mem+0xba/0x170 [ttm] 20565 [  309.907022]  ttm_bo_validate+0xbe/0x190 [ttm] 20566 [  309.911405]  xe_bo_validate+0x9a/0x120 [xe] 20567 [  309.915663]  xe_gpuvm_validate+0xd9/0x140 [xe] 20568 [  309.920206]  drm_gpuvm_validate+0x2f0/0x5b0 [drm_gpuvm] 20569 [  309.925459]  ? drm_exec_lock_obj+0x63/0x210 [drm_exec] 20570 [  309.930627]  xe_vm_validate_rebind+0x46/0xb0 [xe] 20571 [  309.935428]  xe_exec_fn+0x20/0x40 [xe] 20572 [  309.939249]  drm_gpuvm_exec_lock+0x78/0xc0 [drm_gpuvm] 20573 [  309.944410]  xe_validation_exec_lock+0x5a/0xa0 [xe] 20574 [  309.949385]  xe_exec_ioctl+0x806/0xc30 [xe] 20575 [  309.953639]  ? ttwu_queue_wakelist+0xd9/0xf0 20576 [  309.957935]  ? __pfx_xe_exec_fn+0x10/0x10 [xe] 20577 [  309.962449]  ? __wake_up_common+0x73/0xa0 20578 [  309.966482]  ? __pfx_xe_exec_ioctl+0x10/0x10 [xe] 20579 [  309.971263]  drm_ioctl_kernel+0xa3/0x100 20580 [  309.975209]  drm_ioctl+0x213/0x440 20581 [  309.978637]  ? __pfx_xe_exec_ioctl+0x10/0x10 [xe] 20582 [  309.983415]  xe_drm_ioctl+0x67/0xd0 [xe] 20583 [  309.987408]  __x64_sys_ioctl+0x7f/0xd0

Solution
Address memory corruption by freeing tt->restore in ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() upon successful restore.
  • Free and drop tt->restore in ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc().
  • Ensure tt->restore is freed after successful restore.
  • Apply the fix to the ttm module in the Linux kernel.
  • Update the Linux kernel to the latest version.
