Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: acquire vm_ctx->lock before mapping memory to GPU VM The drm gpuvm code doesn't protect find operation against map operation, and the driver needs to ensure a map operation shouldn't happen when a find operation is in progress. In some cases a find operation will be in progress when doing map/unmap operations, and the find operation will do a NULL pointer dereference. An example of the stack trace of such NULL dereference is shown below: ``` Unable to handle kernel access to user memory without uaccess routines at virtual address 0000000000000010 [ ] drm_gpuva_find+0x28/0x6c [drm_gpuvm] [ ] pvr_vm_unmap+0x34/0x68 [powervr] [ ] pvr_ioctl_vm_unmap+0x2e/0x50 [powervr] [ ] drm_ioctl_kernel+0x8e/0xdc [ ] drm_ioctl+0x1be/0x3e0 [ ] __riscv_sys_ioctl+0xba/0xc4 [ ] do_trap_ecall_u+0x23e/0x3f4 [ ] handle_exception+0x168/0x174 ``` As all occurences of drm_gpuva_find*() are already guarded by vm_ctx->lock, make pvr_vm_map() to acquire this lock to prevent disturbing any find operation. This fixes the NULL deference problem in drm_gpuva_find*().
