Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-25 10:08:54 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NTB: epf: Avoid calling pci_irq_vector() from hardirq context

ntb_epf_vec_isr() calls pci_irq_vector() in hardirq context to derive
the vector number. pci_irq_vector() calls msi_get_virq() that takes a
mutex and can therefore trigger "scheduling while atomic" splats:

  BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u33:0/55/0x00010001
  ...
  Call trace:
   ...
   schedule+0x38/0x110
   schedule_preempt_disabled+0x28/0x50
   __mutex_lock.constprop.0+0x848/0x908

   handle_irq_event+0x48/0x100
   handle_edge_irq+0x100/0x1c8
   ...

Cache the Linux IRQ number for vector 0 when vectors are allocated and
use it as a base in the ISR. Running the ISR in a threaded IRQ handler
would also avoid the problem, but that would be unnecessary here.
