Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-09 12:01:05 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpio: xilinx: Convert gpio_lock to raw spinlock

irq_chip functions may be called in raw spinlock context. Therefore, we
must also use a raw spinlock for our own internal locking.

This fixes the following lockdep splat:
