Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-11-09 05:01:46 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

serial: qcom-geni: Fix blocked task

Revert commit 1afa70632c39 ("serial: qcom-geni: Enable PM runtime for
serial driver") and its dependent commit 86fa39dd6fb7 ("serial:
qcom-geni: Enable Serial on SA8255p Qualcomm platforms") because the
first one causes regression - hang task on Qualcomm RB1 board (QRB2210)
and unable to use serial at all during normal boot:

  INFO: task kworker/u16:0:12 blocked for more than 42 seconds.
        Not tainted 6.17.0-rc1-00004-g53e760d89498 #9

The issue was reported on 12th of August and was ignored by author of
commits introducing issue for two weeks.  Only after complaining author
produced a fix which did not work, so if original commits cannot be
reliably fixed for 5 weeks, they obviously are buggy and need to be
dropped.
