CVE-2026-53201 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "drm/xe: Skip exec queue schedule toggle if queue is idle during suspend" This reverts commit 8533051ce92015e9cc6f75e0d52119b9d91610b6. The idle-skip optimization bypasses GuC suspend, so the GPU may not perform the context switch that flushes TLB entries for invalidated userptr VMAs. In LR/preempt-fence VM mode, this can lead to missed TLB invalidation and page faults during userptr invalidation tests. Restore unconditional schedule toggling on suspend so the context-switch TLB flush is always performed. This optimization will be reintroduced with a fix that does not skip suspend in LR/preempt-fence VM mode. (cherry picked from commit 6a1e7934d9a6cf46aecae00a99c2603d1295e170)
A vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel's DRM/xe subsystem, specifically related to the handling of executive queues during suspension. The issue arose from an optimization that allowed queues to skip certain suspension steps when they were idle, which inadvertently bypassed necessary context switches. This could lead to missed invalidation of Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) entries and subsequent page faults during user pointer validation tests, particularly in Linear Rendering mode with preemption fences. The reversion restores the previous behavior, ensuring that TLB flushes are consistently performed during suspensions, thus maintaining the integrity of user pointer validations.
