Executive Summary

This vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/ttm component involves leaking a resource when an eviction error occurs, except for the specific error -EMULTIHOP. The issue was that on eviction errors other than -EMULTIHOP, a resource was not properly released, leading to a resource leak. The fix prevents this resource leak by handling eviction errors correctly.
