Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: Fix sleeping in atomic context for PREEMPT_RT Commit bab1c299f3945ffe79 ("LoongArch: Fix sleeping in atomic context in
setup_tlb_handler()") changes the gfp flag from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC
for alloc_pages_node(). However, for PREEMPT_RT kernels we can still get
