Subject: [PATCH v8 0/2] drm/xe: Reject unsafe PAT indices for CPU cached memory
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 05:19:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416051957.651337-1-jia.yao@intel.com> (raw)
This series strengthens PAT index validation to reject unsafe
configurations for CPU cached memory, preventing cases where the GPU
may bypass CPU caches and observe stale or sensitive data.
Patch 1 enforces PAT validation for the madvise ioctl path, ensuring
XE_COH_NONE cannot be used on CPU cached buffers, including CPU address
mirror and userptr-backed memory.
Patch 2 applies the same validation to vm_bind, treating
DRM_XE_VM_BIND_FLAG_CPU_ADDR_MIRROR the same as MAP_USERPTR with respect
to permissible PAT indices.
Together, these patches close a security gap affecting CPU cached
memory access when incoherent PAT values are used.
v9:
- Limit the restrictions to iGPU
Changes since v7:
- Rebased onto latest drm/xe tree, no functional changes.
Changes since v6:
- Corrected Fixes tags.
Fixes: ada7486c5668 ("drm/xe: Implement madvise ioctl for xe")
Fixes: b43e864af0d4 ("drm/xe/uapi: Add DRM_XE_VM_BIND_FLAG_CPU_ADDR_MIRROR")
