Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 14:10:14 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: lpfc: Fix hard lockup when reading the rx_monitor from debugfs

During I/O and simultaneous cat of /sys/kernel/debug/lpfc/fnX/rx_monitor, a
hard lockup similar to the call trace below may occur.

The spin_lock_bh in lpfc_rx_monitor_report is not protecting from timer
interrupts as expected, so change the strength of the spin lock to _irq.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Hard LOCKUP
CPU: 3 PID: 110402 Comm: cat Kdump: loaded

exception RIP: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+91
