Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-11-05 18:01:50 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: Enable IRQ if do_ale() triggered in irq-enabled context

Unaligned access exception can be triggered in irq-enabled context such
as user mode, in this case do_ale() may call get_user() which may cause
sleep. Then we will get:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/loongarch/kernel/access-helper.h:7

So enable IRQ if unaligned access exception is triggered in irq-enabled
context to fix it.
