In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: xilinx: don't make a sleepable memory allocation from an atomic context
The following issue was discovered using lockdep: [ 6.691371] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:209 [ 6.694602] inatomic(): 1, irqsdisabled(): 128, nonblock: 0, pid: 1, name: swapper/0 [ 6.702431] 2 locks held by swapper/0/1: [ 6.706300] #0: ffffff8800f6f188 (&dev->mutex){....}-{3:3}, at: devicedriverlock+0x4c/0x90 [ 6.714900] #1: ffffffc009a2abb8 (enablelock){....}-{2:2}, at: clkenablelock+0x4c/0x140 [ 6.723156] irq event stamp: 304030 [ 6.726596] hardirqs last enabled at (304029): [<ffffffc008d17ee0>] rawspinunlockirqrestore+0xc0/0xd0 [ 6.736142] hardirqs last disabled at (304030): [<ffffffc00876bc5c>] clkenablelock+0xfc/0x140 [ 6.744742] softirqs last enabled at (303958): [<ffffffc0080904f0>] stext+0x4f0/0x894 [ 6.752655] softirqs last disabled at (303951): [<ffffffc0080e53b8>] irqexit+0x238/0x280 [ 6.760744] CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G U 5.15.36 #2 [ 6.768048] Hardware name: xlnx,zynqmp (DT) [ 6.772179] Call trace: [ 6.774584] dumpbacktrace+0x0/0x300 [ 6.778197] showstack+0x18/0x30 [ 6.781465] dumpstacklvl+0xb8/0xec [ 6.785077] dumpstack+0x1c/0x38 [ 6.788345] _mightsleep+0x1a8/0x2a0 [ 6.792129] _mightsleep+0x6c/0xd0 [ 6.795655] kmemcachealloctrace+0x270/0x3d0 [ 6.800127] dofeaturecheckcall+0x100/0x220 [ 6.804513] zynqmppminvokefn+0x8c/0xb0 [ 6.808555] zynqmppmclockgetstate+0x90/0xe0 [ 6.813027] zynqmppllisenabled+0x8c/0x120 [ 6.817327] zynqmppllenable+0x38/0xc0 [ 6.821197] clkcoreenable+0x144/0x400 [ 6.825067] clkcoreenable+0xd4/0x400 [ 6.828851] clkcoreenable+0xd4/0x400 [ 6.832635] clkcoreenable+0xd4/0x400 [ 6.836419] clkcoreenable+0xd4/0x400 [ 6.840203] clkcoreenable+0xd4/0x400 [ 6.843987] clkcoreenable+0xd4/0x400 [ 6.847771] clkcoreenable+0xd4/0x400 [ 6.851555] clkcoreenablelock+0x24/0x50 [ 6.855683] clkenable+0x24/0x40 [ 6.858952] fclkprobe+0x84/0xf0 [ 6.862220] platformprobe+0x8c/0x110 [ 6.865918] reallyprobe+0x110/0x5f0 [ 6.869530] _driverprobedevice+0xcc/0x210 [ 6.873830] driverprobedevice+0x64/0x140 [ 6.877958] _driverattach+0x114/0x1f0 [ 6.881828] busforeachdev+0xe8/0x160 [ 6.885698] driverattach+0x34/0x50 [ 6.889224] busadddriver+0x228/0x300 [ 6.893008] driverregister+0xc0/0x1e0 [ 6.896792] _platformdriverregister+0x44/0x60 [ 6.901436] fclkdriverinit+0x1c/0x28 [ 6.905220] dooneinitcall+0x104/0x590 [ 6.909091] kernelinitfreeable+0x254/0x2bc [ 6.913390] kernelinit+0x24/0x130 [ 6.916831] retfromfork+0x10/0x20
Fix it by passing the GFP_ATOMIC gfp flag for the corresponding memory allocation.
