CVE-2026-23469: drm/imagination: Synchronize interrupts before suspending the GPU
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/imagination: Synchronize interrupts before suspending the GPU

The runtime PM suspend callback doesn't know whether the IRQ handler is
in progress on a different CPU core and doesn't wait for it to finish.

Depending on timing, the IRQ handler could be running while the GPU is
suspended, leading to kernel crashes when trying to access GPU
registers. See example signature below.

In a power off sequence initiated by the runtime PM suspend callback,
wait for any IRQ handlers in progress on other CPU cores to finish, by
calling synchronize_irq().

At the same time, remove the runtime PM resume/put calls in the threaded
IRQ handler. On top of not being the right approach to begin with, and
being at the wrong place as they should have wrapped all GPU register
accesses, the driver would hit a deadlock between synchronize_irq()
being called from a runtime PM suspend callback, holding the device
power lock, and the resume callback requiring the same.
