Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-03-27 17:03:16 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

octeontx2-pf: Avoid use of GFP_KERNEL in atomic context

Using GFP_KERNEL in preemption disable context, causing below warning
when CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is enabled.

[   32.542271] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:274

To avoid use of GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocation, disable preemption
after all memory allocation is done.
