In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: dump vmalloc memory info safely
Currently, for double invoke call_rcu(), will dump rcu_head objects memory
info, if the objects is not allocated from the slab allocator, the
vmalloc_dump_obj() will be invoke and the vmap_area_lock spinlock need to
be held, since the call_rcu() can be invoked in interrupt context,
therefore, there is a possibility of spinlock deadlock scenarios.
And in Preempt-RT kernel, the rcutorture test also trigger the following
lockdep warning:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

The previous patch fixes this by using the deadlock-safe best-effort
version of find_vm_area. However, in case of failure print the fact that
the pointer was a vmalloc pointer so that we print at least something.
A flaw was found in the Read-Copy-Update (RCU) core of the Linux kernel related to how memory information for vmalloc-allocated objects is dumped. Under certain sequences, calling call_rcu() may lead to the invocation of vmalloc_dump_obj() while holding the vmap_area_lock spinlock in an interrupt context. Because the spinlock cannot be held safely in that context, this could result in a deadlock or kernel hang, particularly under Real-Time (Preempt-RT) workloads where RCU torture testing surfaced lock dependency warnings.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
