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

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

drm/tests: shmem: Hold reservation lock around purge

Acquire and release the GEM object's reservation lock around calls
to the object's purge operation. The tests use
drm_gem_shmem_purge_locked(), which led to errors such as show below.

[   58.709128] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1354 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem_shmem_helper.c:515 drm_gem_shmem_purge_locked+0x51c/0x740

Only export the new helper drm_gem_shmem_purge() for Kunit tests.
This is not an interface for regular drivers.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-71296 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:
