Overview

CVE-2026-98310 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 6, 2026.

Technical description

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

drm/xe/shrinker: Take a runtime PM ref before shrinking non-system memory

__xe_shrinker_walk() walks the SYSTEM and TT LRUs without a runtime PM

reference. Shrinking a bo outside system memory invalidates its GPU

mappings, which needs the device resumed, so while it is runtime

suspended the page table zap trips an assert and the TLB invalidation

returns -ENODEV:

WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_bo.c:770 at xe_bo_move_notify+0x1fc/0x450 [xe]

xe_bo_shrink+0x20f/0x2b0 [xe]

__xe_shrinker_walk+0x174/0x410 [xe]

xe_shrinker_scan+0x10c/0x1e0 [xe]

do_shrink_slab+0x176/0x7e0

drop_caches_sysctl_handler+0x9c/0xf0

Take a reference before walking a memory type other than XE_PL_SYSTEM

and stop there if it cannot be acquired. Reuse the shrinker's existing

acquire path, which resumes the device directly where reclaim allows

that and otherwise queues the PM worker for a later scan. Stop the walk

once the scan targe
