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

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

drm/amd/display: Fix ISM dc_lock deadlock during suspend

[Why]
System hang observed during suspend/resume while video is playing.
amdgpu_dm_ism_disable() is called under dc_lock and waits for ISM
delayed work via disable_delayed_work_sync(). The work handlers
themselves take dc_lock, producing an ABBA deadlock when a worker is
in flight at suspend time.

[How]
Split the disable path into two phases with opposite locking
contracts:
  1. amdgpu_dm_ism_disable() -- quiesces workers, must NOT hold
     dc_lock.
  2. amdgpu_dm_ism_force_full_power() (new) -- drives the ISM FSM
     back to FULL_POWER_RUNNING, must hold dc_lock.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68364 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:
