From ef29440b3ccb93f44cf664311b30fbd5f84d9683 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wilson Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 15:06:17 +0100 Subject: drm/i915: Avoid using rq->engine after free during i915_fence_release In order to be valid to dereference during the i915_fence_release, after retiring the fence and releasing its refererences, we assume that rq->engine can only be a real engine (that stay intact until the device is shutdown after all fences have been flushed). However, due to a quirk of preempt-to-busy, we may retire a request that still belongs to a virtual engine and so eventually free it with rq->engine being invalid. To avoid dereferencing that invalid engine, we look at the execution_mask which if it indicates it may be executed on more than one engine, we know it originated on a virtual engine and may still be on one.
