Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcutorture: Fix rcutorture_one_extend_check() splat in RT kernels
For built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y kernels, running rcutorture tests resulted in the following splat:
[ 68.797425] rcutorture_one_extend_check during change: Current 0x1 To add 0x1 To remove 0x0 preempt_count() 0x0
[ 68.797533] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 512 at kernel/rcu/rcutorture.c:1993 rcutorture_one_extend_check+0x419/0x560 [rcutorture]
[ 68.797601] Call Trace:
[ 68.797602]
Disable BH does not change the SOFTIRQ corresponding bits in preempt_count() for RT kernels, this commit therefore use softirq_count() to check the if BH is disabled.
