🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널 mac80211 모듈의 ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() 함수에서 발생하는 데드락 취약점. 스핀락(spin_lock)을 사용할 때 소프트 인터럽트 컨텍스트와의 동기화 문제로 인해 시스템이 교착 상태에 빠짐. spin_lock_bh() 사용으로 해결됨.
💡 쉬운 설명
Linux WiFi 드라이버가 두 작업 사이의 자원 공유 문제로 인해 영구적으로 멈추는 현상입니다. 인터럽트 처리 방식을 개선하여 문제를 해결합니다.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Fix deadlock in ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup()
The ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() function takes sta->ps_lock to
synchronizes with ieee80211_tx_h_unicast_ps_buf() which is called from
softirq context. However using only spin_lock() to get sta->ps_lock in
ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() does not prevent softirq to execute
on this same CPU, to run ieee80211_tx_h_unicast_ps_buf() and try to
take this same lock ending in deadlock. Below is an example of rcu stall
that arises in such situation.

Using spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() instead prevents softirq to raise
on the same CPU that is holding the lock.
