CVE-2022-50173
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. DRM Global State Lock Backoff Vulnerability
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/mdp5: Fix global state lock backoff We need to grab the lock after the early return for !hwpipe case. Otherwise, we could have hit contention yet still returned 0. Fixes an issue that the new CONFIG_DRM_DEBUG_MODESET_LOCK stuff flagged in CI: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 282 at drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modeset_lock.c:296 drm_modeset_lock+0xf8/0x154 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 282 Comm: kms_cursor_lega Tainted: G W 5.19.0-rc2-15930-g875cc8bc536a #1 Hardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
