Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Process deferred GGTT node removals on device unwind
While we are indirectly draining our dedicated workqueue ggtt->wq that we use to complete asynchronous removal of some GGTT nodes, this happends as part of the managed-drm unwinding (ggtt_fini_early), which could be later then manage-device unwinding, where we could already unmap our MMIO/GMS mapping (mmio_fini).
This was recently observed during unsuccessful VF initialization:
[ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: probe with driver xe failed with error -62 [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747340 __xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm (16 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747540 __xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm (16 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747240 __xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm (16 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747040 tiles_fini (16 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e746840 mmio_fini (16 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e747f40 xe_bo_pinned_fini (16 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: DEVRES REL ffff88811e746b40 devm_drm_dev_init_release (16 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] drmres release begin [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef81640 __fini_relay (8 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef80d40 guc_ct_fini (8 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef80040 __drmm_mutex_release (8 bytes) [ ] xe 0000:00:02.1: [drm:drm_managed_release] REL ffff88810ef80140 ggtt_fini_early (8 bytes)
and this was leading to:

Add managed-device action that will explicitly drain the workqueue with all pending node removals prior to releasing MMIO/GSM mapping.
