Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: hisilicon/sec - don't sleep when in softirq When kunpeng920 encryption driver is used to deencrypt and decrypt
packets during the softirq, it is not allowed to use mutex lock. The
kernel will report the following error: BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/57/0/0x00000300
