CVE-2026-89800: drm/nouveau/uvmm: clear the dirty flag when unwinding an OP_UNMAP_SPARSE
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau/uvmm: clear the dirty flag when unwinding an OP_UNMAP_SPARSE
A successful OP_UNMAP_SPARSE marks its region dirty with
nouveau_uvma_region_dirty() and defers the teardown to
nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_cleanup(); it does not remove the region from
uvmm->region_mt.
If a later op in the job fails, the unwind path never clears reg->dirty
(set in one place, cleared nowhere) and sets op->reg = NULL, so cleanup
skips the teardown. The region is left in the tree with dirty set and its
completion never signalled. Later binds over that range then fail
permanently -- -ENOENT or -EINVAL from the dirty checks, or an unkillable
wait_for_completion() in bind_validate_region() -- for the lifetime of
the uvmm.
Clear reg->dirty when the unwind reverts the sparse unmap, restoring the
region to the state it was found in.
