radeon is using a device global hash table to track what mmu_notifiers have been registered on struct mm. This is better served with the new get/put scheme instead. radeon has a bug where it was not blocking notifier release() until all the BO's had been invalidated. This could result in a use after free of pages the BOs. This is tied into a second bug where radeon left the notifiers running endlessly even once the interval tree became empty. This could result in a use after free with module unload. Both are fixed by changing the lifetime model, the BOs exist in the interval tree with their natural lifetimes independent of the mm_struct lifetime using the get/put scheme. The release runs synchronously and just does invalidate_start across the entire interval tree to create the required DMA fence. Additions to the interval tree after release are already impossible as only current->mm is used during the add.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
