Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-01-15 14:03:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sched_ext: Fix invalid irq restore in scx_ops_bypass()

While adding outer irqsave/restore locking, 0e7ffff1b811 ("scx: Fix raciness
in scx_ops_bypass()") forgot to convert an inner rq_unlock_irqrestore() to
rq_unlock() which could re-enable IRQ prematurely leading to the following
warning:

  raw_local_irq_restore() called with IRQs enabled
