CVE-2026-72409CVE-2026-72409
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mvneta: re-enable percpu interrupt on resume
On Marvell MPIC platforms (Armada 370/XP/38x), mvneta uses a percpu
IRQ disable/enable scheme for NAPI: the ISR (mvneta_percpu_isr) calls
disable_percpu_irq() to mask the MPIC per-CPU interrupt and schedules
NAPI poll, which calls enable_percpu_irq() on completion to unmask.
If suspend occurs while NAPI poll is pending (between
disable_percpu_irq in the ISR and enable_percpu_irq in poll
completion), the interrupt is never re-enabled:
1. mvneta_percpu_isr: disable_percpu_irq() + napi_schedule()
=> MPIC masked, percpu_enabled cpumask bit cleared
2. NAPI poll does not complete before suspend proceeds
(on PREEMPT_RT this is highly likely since softirqs run in
ksoftirqd which gets frozen; on non-RT it can happen when
softirq processing is deferred to ksoftirqd)
3. mvneta_stop_dev => napi_disable(): cancels the pending poll
without executing
