In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: vmd: Make vmd_dev::cfg_lock a raw_spinlock_t type
The access to the PCI config space via pci_ops::read and pci_ops::write is
a low-level hardware access. The functions can be accessed with disabled
interrupts even on PREEMPT_RT. The pci_lock is a raw_spinlock_t for this
purpose.
A spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock on PREEMPT_RT, so it cannot be
acquired with disabled interrupts. The vmd_dev::cfg_lock is accessed in
the same context as the pci_lock.
Make vmd_dev::cfg_lock a raw_spinlock_t type so it can be used with
interrupts disabled.
This was reported as:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
