Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix lock warning in amdgpu_userq_fence_driver_process Fix a potential deadlock caused by inconsistent spinlock usage
between interrupt and process contexts in the userq fence driver. The issue occurs when amdgpu_userq_fence_driver_process() is called
from both:
- Interrupt context: gfx_v11_0_eop_irq() -> amdgpu_userq_fence_driver_process()
- Process context: amdgpu_eviction_fence_suspend_worker() -> amdgpu_userq_fence_driver_force_completion() -> amdgpu_userq_fence_driver_process() In interrupt context, the spinlock was acquired without disabling
interrupts, leaving it in {IN-HARDIRQ-W} state. When the same lock
is acquired in process context, the kernel detects inconsistent
locking since the process context acquisition would enable interrupts
while holding a lock previously acquired in interrupt context. Kernel log shows:
[ 4039.310790] inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} -> {HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage.
[ 4039.310804] kworker/7:2/409 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:

[ 4039.311257] gfx_v11_0_eop_irq+0x132/0x170 [amdgpu] Fix by using spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() to properly
manage interrupt state regardless of calling context. (cherry picked from commit ded3ad780cf97a04927773c4600823b84f7f3cc2)
