Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-16 14:05:27 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/mellanox: mlxbf-pmc: add sysfs_attr_init() to count_clock init

The lock-related debug logic (CONFIG_LOCK_STAT) in the kernel is noting
the following warning when the BlueField-3 SOC is booted:

  BUG: key ffff00008a3402a8 has not been registered!
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(1)
  WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 592 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:4801 lockdep_init_map_type+0x1d4/0x2a0

The mlxbf_pmc driver must call sysfs_attr_init() during the
initialization of the "count_clock" data structure to avoid
this warning.
