Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: tpm_tis_spi: Use wait_woken() in wait_for_tmp_stat()
wait_event_interruptible_timeout() evaluates its condition after setting
the current task state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP this triggers a warning when the IRQ wait
path is used:
tpm_tis_status()
tpm_tis_spi_read_bytes()
tpm_tis_spi_transfer_full()
spi_bus_lock()
mutex_lock()
Address this with the following measures:
1. Call wait_tpm_stat_cond() only while tasking is running.
2. Use wait_woken() to wait for changes.
