Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:17:22 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PM: domains: Fix sleep-in-atomic bug caused by genpd_debug_remove()

When a genpd with GENPD_FLAG_IRQ_SAFE gets removed, the following
sleep-in-atomic bug will be seen, as genpd_debug_remove() will be called
with a spinlock being held.

It doesn't seem necessary to call genpd_debug_remove() with the lock, so
move it out from locking to fix the problem.
