CVE-2026-99209

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

drm/xe: skip eviction of a BO with no resource

xe evict flags() switches on tbo->resource->mem type to choose an eviction placement. An xe BO can reach eviction with no ttm.resource, e.g. an imported dma-buf BO whose resource was freed during teardown while its attachment is still live: the exporter then invalidates it via xe dma buf move notify() -> xe bo evict(), and the switch dereferences a NULL resource and faults.

A BO with no resource has nothing placed or mapped, so there is nothing to evict. Return an empty placement (num placement = 0), mirroring the handling already used for non-xe scatter-gather BOs just above; ttm bo validate() then takes the pipeline-gutting path and returns 0.

Without the fix the xe dma buf@xe test dmabuf move notify no resource dynamic live selftest will fail with below stack.
