CVE-2024-40980CVE-2024-40980
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drop_monitor: replace spin_lock by raw_spin_lock
trace_drop_common() is called with preemption disabled, and it acquires
a spin_lock. This is problematic for RT kernels because spin_locks are
sleeping locks in this configuration, which causes the following splat:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 449, name: rcuc/47
preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
