CVE-2026-68281 — drm/imagination: Count paired job fence as dependency in prepare_job()

Affected: Linux

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

drm/imagination: Count paired job fence as dependency in prepare_job()

The DRM scheduler's prepare_job() callback counts the remaining non-signaled native dependencies for a job, preventing job submission until those (plus job data and fence update) can fit in the job queue's CCCB.

This means checking which dependencies can be waited upon in the firmware, i.e. whether they are backed by a UFO object, i.e. whether their drm_sched_fence::parent has been assigned to a pvr_queue_fence::base fence. That happens when the job owning the fence is submitted to the firmware.

Paired geometry and fragment jobs are submitted at the same time, which means the dependency between them can't be checked this way before submission.

Update job_count_remaining_native_deps() to take into account the dependency between paired jobs.

This fixes cases where prepare_job() underestimated the space left in an almost full fragment CCCB, wrongly unblocking run_job(), which then returned early without writing the full sequence of commands to the CCCB.

The above lead to kernel warnings such as the following and potentially job timeouts (depending on waiters on the missing commands):

It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly perform Reverse Map Table (RMP) checks when the IOMMU accessed certain host buffers. A local attacker with hypervisor access could possibly use this to trigger an out-of-bounds condition and compromise the integrity of SEV-SNP guest memory. (CVE-2023-20585)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - NVDIMM (Non-Volatile Memory Device) drivers; - Handshake API; - ARM32 architecture; - MIPS architecture; - OpenRISC architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Intel NPU Driver; - ACPI drivers; - Android drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - Drivers core; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Cdrom driver; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - CXL (Compute Express Link) drivers; - DAX dirext access to differentiated memory framework; - DIBS (Direct Internal Buffer Sharing) drivers; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - DMA engine subsystem; - DPLL subsystem; - EDAC drivers; - FireWire subsystem; - Arm Firmware Framework fo…
