CVE-2025-21939

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

drm/xe/hmm: Don't dereference struct page pointers without notifier lock

The pnfs that we obtain from hmmrangefault() point to pages that we don't have a reference on, and the guarantee that they are still in the cpu page-tables is that the notifier lock must be held and the notifier seqno is still valid.

So while building the sg table and marking the pages accesses / dirty we need to hold this lock with a validated seqno.

However, the lock is reclaim tainted which makes sgalloctablefrompages_segment() unusable, since it internally allocates memory.

Instead build the sg-table manually. For the non-iommu case this might lead to fewer coalesces, but if that's a problem it can be fixed up later in the resource cursor code. For the iommu case, the whole sg-table may still be coalesced to a single contigous device va region.

This avoids marking pages that we don't own dirty and accessed, and it also avoid dereferencing struct pages that we don't own.

v2: - Use assert to check whether hmm pfns are valid (Matthew Auld) - Take into account that large pages may cross range boundaries (Matthew Auld)

v3: - Don't unnecessarily check for a non-freed sg-table. (Matthew Auld) - Add a missing up_read() in an error path. (Matthew Auld)
