Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-04 09:30 – Updated: 2025-03-27 21:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: cadence-qspi: remove system-wide suspend helper calls from runtime PM hooks
The ->runtime_suspend() and ->runtime_resume() callbacks are not expected to call spi_controller_suspend() and spi_controller_resume(). Remove calls to those in the cadence-qspi driver.
Those helpers have two roles currently: - They stop/start the queue, including dealing with the kworker. - They toggle the SPI controller SPI_CONTROLLER_SUSPENDED flag. It requires acquiring ctlr->bus_lock_mutex.
Step one is irrelevant because cadence-qspi is not queued. Step two however has two implications: - A deadlock occurs, because ->runtime_resume() is called in a context where the lock is already taken (in the ->exec_op() callback, where the usage count is incremented). - It would disallow all operations once the device is auto-suspended.
Here is a brief call tree highlighting the mutex deadlock:
spi_mem_exec_op() ... spi_mem_access_start() mutex_lock(&ctlr->bus_lock_mutex)
cqspi_exec_mem_op()
pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
cqspi_resume()
spi_controller_resume()
mutex_lock(&ctlr->bus_lock_mutex)
...
spi_mem_access_end()
mutex_unlock(&ctlr->bus_lock_mutex)
...
