CVE-2026-68437

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

drm/imagination: Fit paired fragment job in the correct CCCB

For geometry jobs with a paired fragment job, at the moment, the DRM scheduler's prepare_job() callback:

• checks for internal (driver) dependencies for the geometry job;
• calls into pvrqueuegetpairedfragjobdep() to check for external dependencies for the fragment job (the two jobs are submitted together but the common scheduler code doesn't know about it, so this needs to be done at this point in time);
• calls into the preparejob() callback again, but for the fragment job, to check its internal dependencies as well, passing the fragment job's drmschedjob and the geometry job's drmschedentity / pvrqueue.

The problem with the last step is that pvrqueuepreparejob() doesn't always take the mismatched fragment job and geometry queue into account, in particular when checking whether there is space for the fragment command to be submitted, so the code ends up checking for space in the geometry (i.e. wrong) CCCB. The rest of the nested preparejob() callback happens to work fine at the moment as the other internal dependencies are not relevant for a paired fragment job.

Move the initialisation of a paired fragment job's done fence and CCCB fence to pvrqueuegetpairedfragjobdep(), inferring the correct queue from the fragment job itself.

This fixes cases where preparejob() wrongly assumed that there was enough space for a paired fragment job in its own CCCB, unblocking runjob(), which then returned early without writing the full sequence of commands to the CCCB.

The above lead to kernel warnings such as the following and potentially job timeouts (depending on waiters on the missing commands):
