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

accel/rocket: Fix error path handling in rocket_job_run()

In rocket_job_run(), after taking an extra fence reference for job->done_fence via dma_fence_get(), the error paths have three bugs:

  • The dma_fence reference held by job->done_fence is never released,

causing a reference leak.

  • pm_runtime_get_sync() increments the usage counter even on failure,

but the error path does not decrement it, leaking the runtime PM reference and preventing the NPU from suspending.

  • A valid but unsignaled fence is returned to the DRM scheduler,

which triggers WARN("Fence ... released with pending signals!") when the scheduler drops its reference.

Fix by replacing pm_runtime_get_sync() with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() which auto-balances the usage counter on failure, releasing both fence references on error, and returning ERR_PTR(ret) instead of the unsignaled fence.
