In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix use-after-free on framebuffers and property blobs when calling drm_dev_unplug When trying to do a rather aggressive test of igt's "xe_module_load --r reload" with a full desktop environment and game running I noticed a few OOPSes when dereferencing freed pointers, related to framebuffers and property blobs after the compositor exits. Solve this by guarding the freeing in drm_file with drm_dev_enter/exit, and immediately put the references from struct drm_file objects during drm_dev_unplug().
