stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.216 commit ab86cf6f8d24e63e9aca23da5108af1aa5483928 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I9L5KR CVE: CVE-2024-26999
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 1be3226445362bfbf461c92a5bcdb1723f2e4907 upstream.
The mitigation was intended to stop the irq completely. That may be better than a hard lock-up but it turns out that you get a crash anyway if you're using pmac_zilog as a serial console:
ttyPZ0: pmz: rx irq flood ! BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, swapper/0
That's because the pr_err() call in pmz_receive_chars() results in pmz_console_write() attempting to lock a spinlock already locked in pmz_interrupt(). With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y, this produces a fatal BUG splat. The spinlock in question is the one in struct uart_port.
Even when it's not fatal, the serial port rx function ceases to work. Also, the iteration limit doesn't play nicely with QEMU, as can be seen in the bug report linked below.
A web search for other reports of the error message "pmz: rx irq flood" didn't produce anything. So I don't think this code is needed any more. Remove it.
