CVE-2025-38520 — drm/amdkfd: Don't call mmput from MMU notifier callback

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Don't call mmput from MMU notifier callback

If the process is exiting, the mmput inside mmu notifier callback from compactd or fork or numa balancing could release the last reference of mm struct to call exit_mmap and free_pgtable, this triggers deadlock with below backtrace.

The deadlock will leak kfd process as mmu notifier release is not called and cause VRAM leaking.

The fix is to take mm reference mmget_non_zero when adding prange to the deferred list to pair with mmput in deferred list work.

If prange split and add into pchild list, the pchild work_item.mm is not used, so remove the mm parameter from svm_range_unmap_split and svm_range_add_child.

The backtrace of hung task:
