FKIE_CVE-2025-71180
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-01-31 12:16 - Updated: 2026-03-25 19:45
Severity ?
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
counter: interrupt-cnt: Drop IRQF_NO_THREAD flag
An IRQ handler can either be IRQF_NO_THREAD or acquire spinlock_t, as
CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING warns:
=============================
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
6.18.0-rc1+git... #1
-----------------------------
some-user-space-process/1251 is trying to lock:
(&counter->events_list_lock){....}-{3:3}, at: counter_push_event [counter]
other info that might help us debug this:
context-{2:2}
no locks held by some-user-space-process/....
stack backtrace:
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1251 Comm: some-user-space-process 6.18.0-rc1+git... #1 PREEMPT
Call trace:
show_stack (C)
dump_stack_lvl
dump_stack
__lock_acquire
lock_acquire
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
counter_push_event [counter]
interrupt_cnt_isr [interrupt_cnt]
__handle_irq_event_percpu
handle_irq_event
handle_simple_irq
handle_irq_desc
generic_handle_domain_irq
gpio_irq_handler
handle_irq_desc
generic_handle_domain_irq
gic_handle_irq
call_on_irq_stack
do_interrupt_handler
el0_interrupt
__el0_irq_handler_common
el0t_64_irq_handler
el0t_64_irq
... and Sebastian correctly points out. Remove IRQF_NO_THREAD as an
alternative to switching to raw_spinlock_t, because the latter would limit
all potential nested locks to raw_spinlock_t only.
