stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.115 commit 879b075a9a364a325988d4484b74311edfef82a1 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/I5C0OU CVE: CVE-2022-1975
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 4071bf121d59944d5cd2238de0642f3d7995a997 upstream.
There are sleep in atomic bug that could cause kernel panic during firmware download process. The root cause is that nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter is called in fw_dnld_timeout which is a timer handler. The call trace is shown below:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/sched/mm.h:265 Call Trace: kmem_cache_alloc_node __alloc_skb nfc_genl_fw_download_done call_timer_fn __run_timers.part.0 run_timer_softirq __do_softirq ...
The nlmsg_new with GFP_KERNEL parameter may sleep during memory allocation process, and the timer handler is run as the result of a "software interrupt" that should not call any other function that could sleep.
This patch changes allocation mode of netlink message from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC in order to prevent sleep in atomic bug. The GFP_ATOMIC flag makes memory allocation operation could be used in atomic context.
