DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: Fix double call to drm_sched_entity_fini() Call sequence of double call: pvr_context_destroy   pvr_context_kill_queues     pvr_queue_kill       drm_sched_entity_destroy         drm_sched_entity_fini // here   pvr_context_put     kref_put(..., pvr_context_release)       pvr_context_destroy_queues         pvr_queue_destroy           drm_sched_entity_fini // here Call to drm_sched_entity_destroy() from pvr_context_kill_queues() calls drm_sched_entity_flush() + drm_sched_entity_fini(). drm_sched_entity_flush() ensures all pending jobs are completed and drm_sched_entity_fini() ensures no further submission is allowed as per expectation from pvr_context_kill_queues(). Double call to drm_sched_entity_fini() is misuse of the API so keep call only in pvr_context_create() failure path.
