commit 933db73351d359f74b14f4af095808260aff11f9 upstream.
qxl_release should not be accesses after qxl_push_*_ring_release() calls:
userspace driver can process submitted command quickly, move qxl_release
into release_ring, generate interrupt and trigger garbage collector.
It can lead to crashes in qxl driver or trigger memory corruption
in some kmalloc-192 slab object
Gerd Hoffmann proposes to swap the qxl_release_fence_buffer_objects() +
qxl_push_{cursor,command}_ring_release() calls to close that race window.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
