In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix dead lock for suspend and resume
When an application issues a query IOCTL while auto suspend is running,
a deadlock can occur. The query path holds dev_lock and then calls
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), which waits for the ongoing suspend to
complete. Meanwhile, the suspend callback attempts to acquire dev_lock
and blocks, resulting in a deadlock.
Fix this by releasing dev_lock before calling pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
and reacquiring it after the call completes. Also acquire dev_lock in the
resume callback to keep the locking consistent.
