linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: hibernate: Avoid deadlock in hibernate_compressor_param_set()
syzbot reported a deadlock in lock_system_sleep() (see below).
The write operation to "/sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor"
conflicts with the registration of ieee80211 device, resulting in a deadlock
when attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex under param_lock.
To avoid this deadlock, change hibernate_compressor_param_set() to use
mutex_trylock() for attempting to acquire system_transition_mutex and
return -EBUSY when it fails.
Task flags need not be saved or adjusted before calling
mutex_trylock(&system_transition_mutex) because the caller is not going
to end up waiting for this mutex and if it runs concurrently with system
suspend in progress, it will be frozen properly when it returns to user
space.
syzbot report:
syz-executor895/5833 is trying to acquire lock:
ffffffff8e0828c8 (system_transition_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: lock_sys
