This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled atm: solos-pci: Fix potential deadlock on &cli_queue_lock to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: atm-solos-pci-fix-potential-deadlock-on-cli_queue_lo.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit ab2d8571c614bad4054913e4b4504437ca149896 Author: Chengfeng Ye <dg573847474@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Dec 7 12:34:37 2023 +0000 atm: solos-pci: Fix potential deadlock on &cli_queue_lock [ Upstream commit d5dba32b8f6cb39be708b726044ba30dbc088b30 ] As &card->cli_queue_lock is acquired under softirq context along the following call chain from solos_bh(), other acquisition of the same lock inside process context should disable at least bh to avoid double lock. <deadlock #1> console_show() --> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_lock) <interrupt> --> solos_bh() --> spin_lock(&card->cli_queue_lock) This flaw was found by an experimental static analysis tool I am developing for irq-related deadlock. To prevent the potential deadlock, the patch uses spin_lock_bh() on the card->cli_queue_lock under process context code consistently to prevent the possible deadlock scenario.
