CVE-2025-68244

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/i915: Avoid lock inversion when pinning to GGTT on CHV/BXT+VTD

On completion of i915_vma_pin_ww(), a synchronous variant of
dma_fence_work_commit() is called. When pinning a VMA to GGTT address
space on a Cherry View family processor, or on a Broxton generation SoC
with VTD enabled, i.e., when stop_machine() is then called from
intel_ggtt_bind_vma(), that can potentially lead to lock inversion among
reservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks.
