CVE-2026-68281 at MITRE

Description

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

drm/imagination: Count paired job fence as dependency in prepare_job()

The DRM scheduler's prepare_job() callback counts the remaining
non-signaled native dependencies for a job, preventing job submission
until those (plus job data and fence update) can fit in the job queue's
CCCB.

This means checking which dependencies can be waited upon in the
firmware, i.e. whether they are backed by a UFO object, i.e. whether
their drm_sched_fence::parent has been assigned to a
pvr_queue_fence::base fence. That happens when the job owning the fence
is submitted to the firmware.

Paired geometry and fragment jobs are submitted at the same time, which
means the dependency between them can't be checked this way before
submission.

Update job_count_remaining_native_deps() to take into account the
dependency between paired jobs.

This fixes cases where prepare_job() underestimated the space left in
an almost full fragment CCCB, wrongly unblocking run_job(), 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):
