What to do
AI-suggested
A fix is available that removes the faulty fallback code and relies on devres for proper memory cleanup. Users should update to the Linux kernel version that includes this fix. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official patch.
Description
CVE-2025-37837 addresses warnings and potential memory management issues in the Linux kernel's iommu/tegra241-cmdqv driver related to improper use of dmam_free_coherent(). The flaw causes warnings during SMMU driver rollback due to misordered devres callbacks and redundant memory freeing. The fix removes unnecessary fallback code and relies on devres to manage memory cleanup properly.
