Title
drm/ttm: Account for NULL and handle pages in ttm_pool_backup
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/ttm: Account for NULL and handle pages in ttm_pool_backup Pages in ttm_pool_backup can be NULL or backup handles (ttm_backup_page_ptr_is_handle()), neither of which can be passed to set_pages_array_wb() or freed. Add a dedicated WB pass before the dma/purge loop that walks allocations using the same i += num_pages stride, skipping NULL and handle entries, and calls set_pages_array_wb() once per contiguous run of real pages. Apply the same NULL/handle guard to the dma/purge loop. Fixes the following oops: Oops: general protection fault, kernel NULL pointer dereference 0x0: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI RIP: 0010:__cpa_process_fault+0xf8/0x770 RSP: 0018:ffffc90000a87718 EFLAGS: 00010287 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffffc90000a87868 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000001000 RSI: 0005088000000000 RDI: ffffffff827c5f34 RBP: 0005088000000000 R08: ffffc90000a877cb R09: ffffc90000a877d0 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000001b R12: 000ffffffffff000 R13: ffffc90000a87868 R14: ffffc90000a87868 R15: ffff88815b882ae0 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8884ec840000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f930b844000 CR3: 000000000262e003 CR4: 0000000008f70ef0 PKRU: 55555554 Call Trace: <TASK> __change_page_attr_set_clr+0x989/0xe90 ? __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x6c/0x3a0 ? _vm_unmap_aliases+0x250/0x2a0 set_pages_array_wb+0x7f/0x120 ttm_pool_backup+0x4c9/0x5b0 [ttm] ? dma_resv_wait_timeout+0x3b/0xf0 ttm_tt_backup+0x32/0x60 [ttm] ttm_bo_shrink+0x66/0x110 [ttm] xe_bo_shrink_purge+0x12b/0x1b0 [xe] xe_bo_shrink+0xbb/0x270 [xe] __xe_shrinker_walk+0xf7/0x160 [xe] xe_shrinker_walk+0x9d/0xc0 [xe] xe_shrinker_scan+0x11f/0x210 [xe] do_shrink_slab+0x13b/0x270 shrink_slab+0xf1/0x400 shrink_node+0x352/0x8a0 balance_pgdat+0x32c/0x700 kswapd+0x205/0x2f0 ? __pfx_autoremove_wake_function+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_kswapd+0x10/0x10 kthread+0xd1/0x110 ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork+0x1b1/0x200 ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 </TASK>
