In vma destruction, the following race may occur:

Thread 1:	    		  Thread 2:
i915_vma_destroy();

  ...
  list_del_init(vma->vm_link);
  ...
  mutex_unlock(vma->vm->mutex);
				  __i915_vm_release();
release_references();

And in release_reference() we dereference vma->vm to get to the
vm gt pointer, leading to a use-after free.

However, __i915_vm_release() grabs the vm->mutex so the vm won't be
destroyed before vma->vm->mutex is released, so extract the gt pointer
under the vm->mutex to avoid the vma->vm dereference in
release_references().

v2: Fix a typo in the commit message (Andi Shyti)

Closes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/issues/5944


Fixes: e1a7ab4f ("drm/i915: Remove the vm open count")

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
