Title
drm/xe/vf: Add drm_dev guards when detaching CCS read/write buffers
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/vf: Add drm_dev guards when detaching CCS read/write buffers CCS read/write buffers are freed during BO destruction. In some cases, BOs may be destroyed after the device is unbound but while the DRM structure remains valid, leading to NULL pointer dereferences when accessing device resources.
