If any fail after\nthe handle is live, the error path calls drm_gem_shmem_object_free()\nwhich kfree's the object without removing the handle from the IDR.\n\nThis leaves a dangling handle pointing to freed slab memory. Any\nsubsequent ioctl using that handle (PREP_BO, FINI_BO, SUBMIT) calls\ndrm_gem_object_lookup() and dereferences freed memory (UAF).\n\nFix by moving drm_gem_handle_create() to after all fallible operations\nsucceed, matching the pattern used by panfrost, lima, and etnaviv.\n\nAlso fix drm_mm_insert_node_generic() whose return value was silently\noverwritten by iommu_map_sgtable() on the next line.
