Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/guc_submit: fix race around suspend_pending
Currently in some testcases we can trigger:
xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm] Assertion exec_queue_destroyed(q) failed!
....
WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 2640 at drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_guc_submit.c:1826 xe_guc_sched_done_handler+0xa54/0xef0 [xe]
xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm] ERROR GT1: DEREGISTER_DONE: Unexpected engine state 0x00a1, guc_id=57
Looking at a snippet of corresponding ftrace for this GuC id we can see:

It looks like we try to suspend the queue (opcode=3), setting
suspend_pending and triggering a disable_scheduling. The user then
closes the queue. However the close will also forcefully signal the
suspend fence after killing the queue, later wh…
