Detail

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

powerpc/pci: Fix get_phb_number() locking

The recent change to get_phb_number() causes a DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP warning on some systems:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:580
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 1, name: swapper

This is because pcibios_alloc_controller() holds hose_spinlock but of_alias_get_id() takes of_mutex which can sleep.

The hose_spinlock protects the phb_bitmap, and also the hose_list, but it doesn't need to be held while get_phb_number() calls the OF routines, because those are only looking up information in the device tree.

So fix it by having get_phb_number() take the hose_spinlock itself, only where required, and then dropping the lock before returning. pcibios_alloc_controller() then needs to take the lock again before the list_add() but that's safe, the order of the list is not important.
