CVE-2026-89941

EUVD-2026-80541
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: buffer: Make IIO DMA fence release RCU-safe

The `dma_fence` documentation states that if a custom release
implementation is provided, the `dma_fence` object must be freed in an
RCU-safe way. The current `iio_dma_fence` implementation uses `kfree()`,
which might result in a use-after-free.

Remove the custom `release` implementation. This makes the DMA fence core
fall back to `dma_fence_free()`, which calls `kfree_rcu()` on the fence.
This requires that the fence be the first member of `struct iio_dma_fence`.

Using the default release method for extended DMA fence structures is a
common pattern.
