In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PM: core: keep irq flags in device_pm_check_callbacks() The function device_pm_check_callbacks() can be called under the spin lock (in the reported case it happens from genpd_add_device() -> dev_pm_domain_set(), when the genpd uses spinlocks rather than mutexes. However this function uncoditionally uses spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq(), thus not preserving the CPU flags. Use the irqsave/irqrestore instead. The backtrace for the reference: [ 2.752010] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 2.756769] raw_local_irq_restore() called with IRQs enabled [ 2.762596] WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 1 at kernel/locking/irqflag-debug.c:10 warn_bogus_irq_restore+0x34/0x50 [ 2.772338] Modules linked in: [ 2.775487] CPU: 4 PI
