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
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
