Subject: CVE-2026-43311: soc/tegra: pmc: Fix unsafe generic_handle_irq() call
Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 15:12:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026050800-CVE-2026-43311-e5d9@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc/tegra: pmc: Fix unsafe generic_handle_irq() call
Currently, when resuming from system suspend on Tegra platforms,
the following warning is observed:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 14459 at kernel/irq/irqdesc.c:666
Call trace:
handle_irq_desc+0x20/0x58 (P)
tegra186_pmc_wake_syscore_resume+0xe4/0x15c
syscore_resume+0x3c/0xb8
suspend_devices_and_enter+0x510/0x540
pm_suspend+0x16c/0x1d8
The warning occurs because generic_handle_irq() is being called from
a non-interrupt context which is considered as unsafe.
Fix this warning by deferring generic_handle_irq() call to an IRQ work
which gets executed in hard IRQ context where generic_handle_irq()
can be called safely.
When PREEMPT_RT kernels are used, regular IRQ work (initialized with
init_irq_work) is deferred to run in per-CPU kthreads in preemptible
context rather than hard IRQ context. Hence, use the IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD
variant so that with PREEMPT_RT kernels, the IRQ work is processed in
hardirq context instead of being deferred to a thread which is required
for calling generic_handle_irq().
On non-PREEMPT_RT kernels, both init_irq_work() and IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()
execute in IRQ context, so this change has no functional impact for
standard kernel configurations.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
