Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: IB/core: Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow by using mmput_async(). From the below call trace [1] can see that calling mmput() once we have
the umem_odp->umem_mutex locked as required by
ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() might trigger in the same task the
exit_mmap()->__mmu_notifier_release()->mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() which
may dead lock when trying to lock the same mutex. Moving to use mmput_async() will solve the problem as the above
exit_mmap() flow will be called in other task and will be executed once
the lock will be available. [1]

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: IB/core: corrija un bloqueo anidado como parte del flujo ODP. Corrija un bloqueo anidado como parte del flujo ODP usando mmput_async(). En el siguiente seguimiento de llamadas [1] se puede ver que llamar a mmput() una vez que tenemos umem_odp-&gt;umem_mutex bloqueado como lo requiere ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() podría desencadenar en la misma tarea exit_mmap()-&gt;__mmu_notifier_release()-&gt;mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() lo que puede bloquearse al intentar bloquear el mismo mutex. Pasar a utilizar mmput_async() resolverá el problema ya que el flujo exit_mmap() anterior se llamará en otra tarea y se ejecutará una vez que el bloqueo esté disponible.
