VLAI
Details

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

ptr_ring: do not block hard interrupts in ptr_ring_resize_multiple()

Jakub added a lockdep_assert_no_hardirq() check in __page_pool_put_page() to increase test coverage.

syzbot found a splat caused by hard irq blocking in ptr_ring_resize_multiple() [1]

As current users of ptr_ring_resize_multiple() do not require hard irqs being masked, replace it to only block BH.

Rename helpers to better reflect they are safe against BH only.

  • ptr_ring_resize_multiple() to ptr_ring_resize_multiple_bh()
  • skb_array_resize_multiple() to skb_array_resize_multiple_bh()
