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

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

drm/xe/vm: Fix SVM leak on resv obj alloc failure in xe_vm_create()

Commit 9e9787414882 ("drm/xe/userptr: replace xe_hmm with gpusvm") made
xe_svm_init() unconditional in xe_vm_create() and extended it to also
initialize a "simple" gpusvm state for non-fault-mode VMs. The matching
xe_svm_fini() call in xe_vm_close_and_put() was updated to run
unconditionally, but the error unwind path in xe_vm_create() was not.

On the drm_gpuvm_resv_object_alloc() failure path, xe_svm_init() has
already succeeded but xe_svm_fini() is only called when
XE_VM_FLAG_FAULT_MODE is set. For non-fault-mode VMs this leaves
vm->svm.gpusvm partially initialized and leaks the resources allocated
by drm_gpusvm_init().

For fault-mode VMs, xe_svm_init() additionally acquires the pagemap
owner via drm_pagemap_acquire_owner() and the pagemaps via
xe_svm_get_pagemaps(). Those resources are released by xe_svm_close(),
not xe_svm_fini(). On the same error path, xe_svm_close() is not
called either, so fault-mode VMs leak the pagemap owner and pagemaps.

Fix both leaks:

- Call xe_svm_fini() unconditionally on the err_svm_fini path, matching
  the unconditional xe_svm_init() call. Move the vm->size = 0
  assignment out of the conditional so the xe_vm_is_closed() assert in
  xe_svm_fini() (and xe_svm_close()) holds for both modes.

- Call xe_svm_close() for fault-mode VMs before xe_svm_fini(), matching
  the ordering used in xe_vm_close_and_put().

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:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/279339aa8bdcf9db40094cf2bcbd495c53dbe817
