Affected: Linux

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

drm/panthor: Fix NPD issue on partial unmap of an evicted BO

This commit fixes the NULL pointer dereference issue that would have happened on the split of GPU mapping due to partial unmap of an evicted BO. There is a logic to handle the partial unmap of huge pages when the GPU mapping is split. That logic was not being completely skipped for the VMA of an evicted BO and that resulted in a NPD possibility for the 'bo->backing.pages' pointer, which is set to NULL when pages of a BO are released on eviction.

Following dump was seen when a partial unmap was exercised for an evicted BO.
