CVE-2022-49193
MediumIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: fix 'scheduling while atomic' on aux critical err interrupt There's a kernel BUG splat on processing aux critical error interrupts in ice_misc_intr(): [ 2100.917085] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/15/0/0x00010000 ...

As Andrew correctly mentioned previously[0], the following call ladder happens: ice_misc_intr() <- hardirq ice_send_event_to_aux() device_lock() mutex_lock() might_sleep() might_resched() <- oops Add a new PF state bit which indicates that an aux critical error occurred and serve it in ice_service_task() in process context. The new ice_pf::oicr_err_reg is read-write in both hardirq and process contexts, but only 3 bits of non-critical data probably aren't worth explicit synchronizing (and they're even in the same byte [31:24]).
