Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-08 17:04:17 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix race with interrupt handler

While executing ->ioctl handler or ->release handler, if an interrupt
fires on the same cpu, then we can enter into a deadlock.

This patch fixes both these handlers to take spin_lock_irq{save|restore}
versions of the lock to prevent this deadlock.
