Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/ttm: Fix a NULL pointer dereference
The LRU mechanism may look up a resource in the process of being removed
from an object. The locking rules here are a bit unclear but it looks
currently like res->bo assignment is protected by the LRU lock, whereas
bo->resource is protected by the object lock, while *clearing* of
bo->resource is also protected by the LRU lock. This means that if
we check that bo->resource points to the LRU resource under the LRU
lock we should be safe.
So perform that check before deciding to swap out a bo. That avoids
dereferencing a NULL bo->resource in ttm_bo_swapout().
