Improper Resource Locking Affecting kernel-zfcpdump-modules-extra package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-zfcpdump-modules-extra package and not the kernel-zfcpdump-modules-extra package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dma-debug: don't call __dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() under free_entries_lock

__dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() calls into printk -> serial console output (qcom geni) and grabs port->lock under free_entries_lock spin lock, which is a reverse locking dependency chain as qcom_geni IRQ handler can call into dma-debug code and grab free_entries_lock under port->lock.

Move __dma_entry_alloc_check_leak() call out of free_entries_lock scope so that we don't acquire serial console's port->lock under it.

Trimmed-down lockdep splat:

The existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(free_entries_lock); lock(&port_lock_key); lock(free_entries_lock); lock(console_owner);
