Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Avoid potential vm use-after-free
Adding the vm to the vm_xa table makes it visible to userspace, which could try to race with us to close the vm. So we need to take our extra reference before putting it in the table.
