Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-11-21 19:01:21 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

afs: Fix lock recursion

afs_wake_up_async_call() can incur lock recursion.  The problem is that it
is called from AF_RXRPC whilst holding the ->notify_lock, but it tries to
take a ref on the afs_call struct in order to pass it to a work queue - but
if the afs_call is already queued, we then have an extraneous ref that must
be put... calling afs_put_call() may call back down into AF_RXRPC through
rxrpc_kernel_shutdown_call(), however, which might try taking the
->notify_lock again.

This case isn't very common, however, so defer it to a workqueue.  The oops
looks something like:

  BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, krxrpcio/7001/1646
