The callback can be reached from irq_startup()\nwhile setting up a requested IRQ.  That path is not sleepable, but on\nPREEMPT_RT a regular spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock.\n\nThis issue was found by our static analysis tool and then manually\nreviewed against the current tree.\n\nThe grounded PoC kept the request_threaded_irq() -> __setup_irq() ->\nirq_startup() -> sch_irq_unmask() -> sch_irq_mask_unmask() carrier and\nused the original spin_lock_irqsave(&sch->lock) edge.  Lockdep reported:\n\n  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context\n  hardirqs last disabled at ... __setup_irq.constprop.0 ... [vuln_msv]\n  sch_rt_spin_lock_irqsave+0x1c/0x30 [vuln_msv]\n  sch_irq_mask_unmask.constprop.0+0x31/0x70 [vuln_msv]\n  __setup_irq.constprop.0+0xd/0x30 [vuln_msv]\n\nConvert the SCH controller lock to raw_spinlock_t.  The same lock is\nalso used by the GPIO direction and value callbacks, but those critical\nsections only update MMIO-backed GPIO registers and do not contain\nsleepable operations.  Keeping this register lock non-sleeping is\ntherefore appropriate for the irqchip callbacks and does not change the\nGPIO-side locking contract."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpio/gpio-sch.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7a81638485c1a62a87b4c391ecc9c651a4a9dc19","lessThan":"3b1aa05ec27eeccc889ecaa3f2d9baa9f453e50d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7a81638485c1a62a87b4c391ecc9c651a4a9dc19","lessThan":"4f03a15cc73c83740fc355ee22b336492d17b4da","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7a81638485c1a62a87b4c391ecc9c651a4a9dc19","lessThan":"7a550256d68bbdfa0903ab1c4595c04a6815493a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7a81638485c1a62a87b4c391ecc9c651a4a9dc19","lessThan":"a235cec779bb39ec8f961a935b28a2ce278c6c64","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7a81638485c1a62a87b4c391ecc9c651a4a9dc19","lessThan":"4508366ab7dd0c2917a51a9c2e23cc1b9d35157a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7a81638485c1a62a87b4c391ecc9c651a4a9dc19","lessThan":"41cad91a09d69e8fff4e936db29b1054b4e9f9f7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"7a81638485c1a62a87b4c391ecc9c651a4a9dc19","lessThan":"286533cb14a3c8a8bd39ff64ea2fc8e1aa0f638b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/gpio/gpio-sch.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.13","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.13","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.212","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.178","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.145","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.97","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.39","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.4","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.212"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.178"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.145"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.97"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.39"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.4"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3b1aa05ec27eeccc889ecaa3f2d9baa9f453e50d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4f03a15cc73c83740fc355ee22b336492d17b4da"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7a550256d68bbdfa0903ab1c4595c04a6815493a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a235cec779bb39ec8f961a935b28a2ce278c6c64"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4508366ab7dd0c2917a51a9c2e23cc1b9d35157a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/41cad91a09d69e8fff4e936db29b1054b4e9f9f7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/286533cb14a3c8a8bd39ff64ea2fc8e1aa0f638b"}],"title":"gpio: sch: use raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
