CVE-2024-40980
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drop_monitor: replace spin_lock by raw_spin_lock
trace_drop_common() is called with preemption disabled, and it acquires
a spin_lock. This is problematic for RT kernels because spin_locks are
sleeping locks in this configuration, which causes the following splat:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48

trace_drop_common() also disables interrupts, but this is a minor issue
because we could easily replace it with a local_lock.
Replace the spin_lock with raw_spin_lock to avoid sleeping in atomic
context.
