Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dpll: fix possible deadlock during netlink dump operation Recently, I've been hitting following deadlock warning during dpll pin dump: [52804.637962] ====================================================== [52804.638536] WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected [52804.639111] 6.8.0-rc2jiri+ #1 Not tainted [52804.639529] ------------------------------------------------------ [52804.640104] python3/2984 is trying to acquire lock: [52804.640581] ffff88810e642678 (nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: netlink_dump+0xb3/0x780 [52804.641417] but task is already holding lock: [52804.642010] ffffffff83bde4c8 (dpll_lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: dpll_lock_dumpit+0x13/0x20 [52804.642747] which lock already depends on the new lock.

In control->start(cb) the dpll_lock is taken. Then nlk->cb_mutex is released and taken again in netlink_dump(), while dpll_lock still being held. That leads to ABBA deadlock when another CPU races with the same operation. Fix this by moving dpll_lock taking into dumpit() callback which ensures correct lock taking order.

En control-\u0026gt;start(cb) se toma dpll_lock. Luego, nlk-\u0026gt;cb_mutex se libera y se toma nuevamente en netlink_dump(), mientras dpll_lock a\u00fan se mantiene. Eso lleva a un punto muerto de ABBA cuando otra CPU corre con la misma operaci\u00f3n. Solucione este problema moviendo dpll_lock a la devoluci\u00f3n de llamada dumpit(), lo que garantiza el orden correcto de toma de bloqueo."
