{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2025-68244","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  drm/i915: Avoid lock inversion when pinning to GGTT on CHV/BXT+VTD  On completion of i915_vma_pin_ww(), a synchronous variant of dma_fence_work_commit() is called.  When pinning a VMA to GGTT address space on a Cherry View family processor, or on a Broxton generation SoC with VTD enabled, i.e., when stop_machine() is then called from intel_ggtt_bind_vma(), that can potentially lead to lock inversion among reservation_ww and cpu_hotplug locks.
