From: Yonatan Maman <yma...@nvidia.com> This patch series addresses two critical issues in the Nouveau driver related to device channels, error handling and memory leaking.
- Memory Leak in migrate_to_ram - the migrate_to_ram function was identified as leaking memory when a copy push command fails. This results in the function returning a dirty HIGH_USER page, which can expose sensitive information and pose a security risk. To mitigate this vulnerability, the patch ensures that a zero page is allocated for the destination page, thereby preventing memory leaks and enhancing the security of the driver in case of failure. - Privileged Error in Copy Engine Channel - an error was observed when the nouveau_dmem_copy_one function is executed, leading to a Host Copy Engine Privileged error on channel 1. The patch addresses this by adjusting the Copy Engine channel configuration to permit privileged push commands, thus resolving the error.
