Title
Revert "drm/xe: Skip exec queue schedule toggle if queue is idle during suspend"
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "drm/xe: Skip exec queue schedule toggle if queue is idle during suspend" This reverts commit 8533051ce92015e9cc6f75e0d52119b9d91610b6. The idle-skip optimization bypasses GuC suspend, so the GPU may not perform the context switch that flushes TLB entries for invalidated userptr VMAs. In LR/preempt-fence VM mode, this can lead to missed TLB invalidation and page faults during userptr invalidation tests. Restore unconditional schedule toggling on suspend so the context-switch TLB flush is always performed. This optimization will be reintroduced with a fix that does not skip suspend in LR/preempt-fence VM mode. (cherry picked from commit 6a1e7934d9a6cf46aecae00a99c2603d1295e170)

The idle/suspend condition is attacker-controllable and does not require winning an external race.\nPR:L - The IOCTLs are DRM_RENDER_ALLOW and do not require CAP_SYS_ADMIN or another real root capability. Exploitation requires only a local user able to open the Xe DRM render device.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the attacker has local access to the render node. The attacker can drive queue creation, submission, and userptr invalidation directly.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects the same host kernel/GPU memory-management security authority. There is no demonstrated VM escape, IOMMU bypass across guests, or separate security authority transition.\nC:H - Missed TLB invalidation can leave stale GPU translations to invalidated userptr pages, allowing GPU commands to read physical pages after they are reused. In the highest reasonable scenario this can disclose arbitrary sensitive memory.\nI:H - GPU writes through stale translations can corrupt pages after reuse by another process or the kernel. This is a stale DMA-style memory corruption primitive with high integrity impact.\nA:H - The stale translations can trigger GPU page faults, hangs, resets, or broader memory corruption. Repeated triggering can cause high availability impact to the GPU subsystem and potentially the kernel."
