Subject: [PATCH 6.12 48/70] drm/i915/gt: fix refcount underflow in intel_engine_park_heartbeat
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 18:00:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413155729.978183145@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413155728.181580293@linuxfoundation.org>
6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sebastian Brzezinka <sebastian.brzezinka@intel.com>
commit 4c71fd099513bfa8acab529b626e1f0097b76061 upstream.
A use-after-free / refcount underflow is possible when the heartbeat
worker and intel_engine_park_heartbeat() race to release the same
engine->heartbeat.systole request.
The heartbeat worker reads engine->heartbeat.systole and calls
i915_request_put() on it when the request is complete, but clears
the pointer in a separate, non-atomic step. Concurrently, a request
retirement on another CPU can drop the engine wakeref to zero, triggering
__engine_park() -> intel_engine_park_heartbeat(). If the heartbeat
timer is pending at that point, cancel_delayed_work() returns true and
intel_engine_park_heartbeat() reads the stale non-NULL systole pointer
and calls i915_request_put() on it again, causing a refcount underflow:

```
Fix this by replacing the non-atomic pointer read + separate clear with
xchg() in both racing paths. xchg() is a single indivisible hardware
instruction that atomically reads the old pointer and writes NULL. This
guarantees only one of the two concurrent callers obtains the non-NULL
pointer and performs the put, the other gets NULL and skips it.
