Description
===========

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

drm/xe: Return error on non-migratable faults requiring devmem

Non-migratable faults that require devmem incorrectly jump to the 'out'
label, which squashes the error code intended to be returned to the
upper layers. Fix this by returning -EACCES instead.

(cherry picked from commit c4508edb2c723de93717272488ea65b165637eac)

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68268 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
