Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/sifive-plic: Fix frozen interrupt due to affinity setting
PLIC ignores interrupt completion message for disabled interrupt, explained
by the specification:
The PLIC signals it has completed executing an interrupt handler by
writing the interrupt ID it received from the claim to the
claim/complete register. The PLIC does not check whether the completion
ID is the same as the last claim ID for that target. If the completion
ID does not match an interrupt source that is currently enabled for
the target, the completion is silently ignored.
This caused problems in the past, because an interrupt can be disabled
while still being handled and plic_irq_eoi() had no effect. That was fixed
by checking if the interrupt is disabled, and if so enable it, before
sending the completion message. That check is done with irqd_irq_disabled().
However, that is not sufficient because the enable bit for t
