[PATCH v2 2/3] drm/nouveau/uvmm: fix premature region free on failed OP_UNMAP_SPARSE

From: Zhenhao Wan

Date: Tue Aug 11 2026 - 04:48:59 EST


In nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_submit()'s OP_UNMAP_SPARSE arm, op->reg is set
from nouveau_uvma_region_find(), which only looks the region up and takes
no reference; a region's sole reference is its membership in
uvmm->region_mt. Two failure paths leave op->reg set: the -ENOENT check
when the region is busy, and the drm_gpuvm_sm_unmap_ops_create() failure.
The sibling nouveau_uvmm_sm_unmap_prepare() failure just below clears
op->reg; these two do not.

unwind_continue steps back one op, so the failing op is skipped by the
unwind loop and its op->reg stays set. nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_cleanup()
then enters its if (op->reg) branch and calls nouveau_uvma_region_remove()
and nouveau_uvma_region_put() on it, dropping the tree's sole reference
and freeing a region this job never created. The comment above the
cleanup loop documents the broken invariant: op->reg must be NULL on
submit failure.

This frees a live region on an unrelated failure, reachable single-job
when drm_gpuvm_sm_unmap_ops_create() returns -ENOMEM; if another job owns
the same region, its cleanup then removes and puts the freed region, a
use-after-free. Clear op->reg on both failure paths.
