Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98310)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98310). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/shrinker: Take a runtime PM ref before shrinking non-system memory
__xe_shrinker_walk() walks the SYSTEM and TT LRUs without a runtime PM
reference. Shrinking a bo outside system memory invalidates its GPU
mappings, which needs the device resumed, so while it is runtime
suspended the page table zap trips an assert and the TLB invalidation
returns -ENODEV:
WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:770 at xe_bo_move_notify+0x1fc/0x450 [xe]
xe_bo_shrink+0x20f/0x2b0 [xe]

Take a reference before walking a memory type other than XE_PL_SYSTEM
and stop there if it cannot be acquired. Reuse the shrinker's existing
acquire path, which resumes the device directly where reclaim allows
that and otherwise queues the PM worker for a later scan. Stop the walk
once the scan target is met, so a satisfied scan does not wake the
device. System memory is still reclaimed while the device is suspended.
Gate this on xe_device_is_l2_flush_optimized(), the same condition under
which xe_bo_trigger_rebind() issues the invalidation for a non-fault-mode
vm, so reclaim is unaffected elsewhere. The System CCS copy already has
its own reference in xe_bo_shrink().
Only a non-fault-mode vm can reach this, since a fault-mode vm requires
LR mode and that holds a runtime PM reference fo…
