It expected that only one new drm_gpuva would be needed on umap\nbut a partial unmap can require 2 new drm_gpuva and that's why it\nended up doing a NULL pointer dereference causing a kernel panic.\n\nFollowing dump was seen when partial unmap was exercised.\n Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000078\n Mem abort info:\n   ESR = 0x0000000096000046\n   EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits\n   SET = 0, FnV = 0\n   EA = 0, S1PTW = 0\n   FSC = 0x06: level 2 translation fault\n Data abort info:\n   ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000046, ISS2 = 0x00000000\n   CM = 0, WnR = 1, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0\n   GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0\n user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=000000088a863000\n [000000000000078] pgd=080000088a842003, p4d=080000088a842003, pud=0800000884bf5003, pmd=0000000000000000\n Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000046 [#1] PREEMPT SMP\n <snip>\n pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--)\n pc : panthor_gpuva_sm_step_remap+0xe4/0x330 [panthor]\n lr : panthor_gpuva_sm_step_remap+0x6c/0x330 [panthor]\n sp : ffff800085d43970\n x29: ffff800085d43970 x28: ffff00080363e440 x27: ffff0008090c6000\n x26: 0000000000000030 x25: ffff800085d439f8 x24: ffff00080d402000\n x23: ffff800085d43b60 x22: ffff800085d439e0 x21: ffff00080abdb180\n x20: 0000000000000000 x19: 0000000000000000 x18: 0000000000000010\n x17: 6e656c202c303030 x16: 3666666666646466 x15: 393d61766f69202c\n x14: 312d3d7361203a70 x13: 303030323d6e656c x12: ffff80008324bf58\n x11: 0000000000000003 x10: 0000000000000002 x9 : ffff8000801a6a9c\n x8 : ffff00080360b300 x7 : 0000000000000000 x6 : 000000088aa35fc7\n x5 : fff1000080000000 x4 : ffff8000842ddd30 x3 : 0000000000000001\n x2 : 0000000100000000 x1 : 0000000000000001 x0 : 0000000000000078\n Call trace:\n  panthor_gpuva_sm_step_remap+0xe4/0x330 [panthor]\n  op_remap_cb.isra.22+0x50/0x80\n  __drm_gpuvm_sm_unmap+0x10c/0x1c8\n  drm_gpuvm_sm_unmap+0x40/0x60\n  panthor_vm_exec_op+0xb4/0x3d0 [panthor]\n  panthor_vm_bind_exec_sync_op+0x154/0x278 [panthor]\n  panthor_ioctl_vm_bind+0x160/0x4a0 [panthor]\n  drm_ioctl_kernel+0xbc/0x138\n  drm_ioctl+0x240/0x500\n  __arm64_sys_ioctl+0xb0/0xf8\n  invoke_syscall+0x4c/0x110\n  el0_svc_common.constprop.1+0x98/0xf8\n  do_el0_svc+0x24/0x38\n  el0_svc+0x40/0xf8\n  el0t_64_sync_handler+0xa0/0xc8\n  el0t_64_sync+0x174/0x178","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4eabd0d8791eaf9a7b114ccbf56eb488aefe7b1f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e9c19d19dd7e08db89cead5b0337c18590dc6645","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/efe6dced3512066ebee2cf7c4c38d1c99625814e"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:16:40.427100871+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-40225","score":0.00242,"percentile":0.1517,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
