Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: padata: Always leave BHs disabled when running ->parallel() A deadlock can happen when an overloaded system runs ->parallel() in the context of the current task: padata_do_parallel ->parallel() pcrypt_aead_enc/dec padata_do_serial spin_lock(&reorder->lock) // BHs still enabled <interrupt> ... __do_softirq ... padata_do_serial spin_lock(&reorder->lock) It's a bug for BHs to be on in _do_serial as Steffen points out, so ensure they're off in the "current task" case like they are in padata_parallel_worker to avoid this situation.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.8 < 5.10.163) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.86) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.0.16) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.1 < 6.1.2)
