In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix bo->pin leaking in amdgpu_bo_create_reserved
amdgpu_bo_create_reserved() only allocates a new BO when
bo_ptr (struct amdgpu_bo bo_ptr as input parameter) is
NULL, it simply skips creation when bo_ptr is non-NULL.
But it unconditionally reserves, pins, gart allocates
and maps the BO afterwards.
When the same non-NULL BO pointer is passed in again,
for example firmware buffers that live in adev and are
re-loaded on every resume / cp_resume / start
under AMDGPU_FW_LOAD_DIRECT, amdgpu_bo_pin() just increases
pin_count unconditionally, however the matching teardown only unpins
once, so pin_count never drops to zero, so TTM is not able
to move, swap or evict a BO, causing BO leaks.
This commit fixes this issue by only pinning the bo
once at creation, and repeated calls no longer
take additional pin references.
