Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Add outer runtime_pm protection to xe_live_ktest@xe_dma_buf Any kunit doing any memory access should get their own runtime_pm outer references since they don't use the standard driver API entries. In special this dma_buf from the same driver.
