CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Exploitability: 3.9 / Impact: 3.6
Source: 416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67 (Secondary)
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: move wait_on_sem() out of spinlock
With iommu.strict=1, the existing completion wait path can cause soft
lockups under stressed environment, as wait_on_sem() busy-waits under the
spinlock with interrupts disabled.
Move the completion wait in iommu_completion_wait() out of the spinlock.
wait_on_sem() only polls the hardware-updated cmd_sem and does not require
iommu->lock, so holding the lock during the busy wait unnecessarily
increases contention and extends the time with interrupts disabled.
