Nouveau - Sep 2024 - [PATCH 0/2] *** BUG Fix for Nouveau Memory***

This patch series addresses two critical issues in the Nouveau driver related to
device channels, error handling and memory leaking.

- Memory Leak in migrate_to_ram - the migrate_to_ram function was identified as
leaking memory when a copy push command fails. This results in the function
returning a dirty HIGH_USER page, which can expose sensitive information and
pose a security risk. To mitigate this vulnerability, the patch ensures that a
zero page is allocated for the destination page, thereby preventing memory leaks
and enhancing the security of the driver in case of failure.

- Privileged Error in Copy Engine Channel - an error was observed when the
nouveau_dmem_copy_one function is executed, leading to a Host Copy Engine
Privileged error on channel 1. The patch addresses this by adjusting the Copy
Engine channel configuration to permit privileged push commands, thus resolving
the error.

  nouveau/dmem: Fix privileged error in copy engine channel
  nouveau/dmem: Fix memory leak in `migrate_to_ram` upon copy error

When `nouveau_dmem_copy_one` is called, the following error occurs:

[272146.675156] nouveau 0000:06:00.0: fifo: PBDMA9: 00000004 [HCE_PRIV]
ch 1 00000300 00003386

This indicates that a copy push command triggered a Host Copy Engine
Privileged error on channel 1 (Copy Engine channel). To address this
issue, modify the Copy Engine channel to allow privileged push commands

A copy push command might fail, causing `migrate_to_ram` to return a
dirty HIGH_USER page to the user.

This exposes a security vulnerability in the nouveau driver. To prevent
memory leaks in `migrate_to_ram` upon a copy error, allocate a zero
page for the destination page.
