Details

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

dma-debug: fix a possible deadlock on radix_lock

radix_lock() shouldn't be held while holding dma_hash_entry[idx].lock otherwise, there's a possible deadlock scenario when dma debug API is called holding rq_lock():

CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 dma_free_attrs() check_unmap() add_dma_entry() __schedule() //out (A) rq_lock() get_hash_bucket() (A) dma_entry_hash check_sync() (A) radix_lock() (W) dma_entry_hash dma_entry_free() (W) radix_lock() // CPU2's one (W) rq_lock()

CPU1 situation can happen when it extending radix tree and it tries to wake up kswapd via wake_all_kswapd().

CPU2 situation can happen while perf_event_task_sched_out() (i.e. dma sync operation is called while deleting perf_event using etm and etr tmc which are Arm Coresight hwtracing driver backends).

To remove this possible situation, call dma_entry_free() after put_hash_bucket() in check_unmap().
