In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/smaps: fix race between smaps_hugetlb_range and migration

smaps_hugetlb_range() handles the pte without holdling ptl, and may be concurrenct with migration, leaing to BUG_ON in pfn_swap_entry_to_page(). The race is as follows.

smaps_hugetlb_range migrate_pages huge_ptep_get remove_migration_ptes folio_unlock pfn_swap_entry_folio BUG_ON

To fix it, hold ptl lock in smaps_hugetlb_range().

pinctrl: mcp23s08: Fix sleeping in atomic context due to regmap locking

If a device uses MCP23xxx IO expander to receive IRQs, the following bug can happen:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:283 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, ... preempt_count: 1, expected: 0 ... Call Trace: ... __might_resched+0x104/0x10e __might_sleep+0x3e/0x62 mutex_lock+0x20/0x4c regmap_lock_mutex+0x10/0x18 regmap_update_bits_base+0x2c/0x66 mcp23s08_irq_set_type+0x1ae/0x1d6 __irq_set_trigger+0x56/0x172 __setup_irq+0x1e6/0x646 request_threaded_irq+0xb6/0x160 ...

We observed the problem while experimenting with a touchscreen driver which used MCP23017 IO expander (I2C).

The regmap in the pinctrl-mcp23s08 driver uses a mutex for protection from concurrent accesses, which is the default for regmaps without .fast_io, .disable_locking, etc.

mcp23s08_irq_set_type() calls regmap_update_bits_base(), and the latter locks the mutex.

However, __setup_irq() locks desc->lock spinlock before calling these functions. As a result, the system tries to lock the mutex whole holding the spinlock.

It seems, the internal regmap locks are not needed in this driver at all. mcp->lock seems to protect the regmap from concurrent accesses already, except, probably, in mcp_pinconf_get…
