Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pt: prevent invalid cursor access for purged BOs
During a page table walk for binding, xe_pt_stage_bind() explicitly
skips initializing the xe_res_cursor for purged BOs, treating them
similarly to NULL VMAs by only setting the cursor size.
However, xe_pt_hugepte_possible() and xe_pt_scan_64K() did not check
if the BO was purged before attempting to walk the cursor using
xe_res_dma() and xe_res_next(). Because the cursor was left
uninitialized for purged BOs, this falls through and triggers
warnings like:
WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_res_cursor.h:274 at xe_res_next
Fix this by explicitly checking if the BO is purged in both
xe_pt_hugepte_possible() and xe_pt_scan_64K(), returning early just
as we do for NULL VMAs, avoiding the invalid cursor accesses entirely.
As a precaution, also zero-initialize the cursor in xe_pt_stage_bind()
to ensure we don't pass garbage data into the page table walkers
if we ever hit a similar edge case in the future.
