      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmm: slub: avoid wake up kswapd in set_track_prepare\n\nset_track_prepare() can incur lock recursion.\nThe issue is that it is called from hrtimer_start_range_ns\nholding the per_cpu(hrtimer_bases)[n].lock, but when enabled\nCONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS, may wake up kswapd in set_track_prepare,\nand try to hold the per_cpu(hrtimer_bases)[n].lock.\n\nAvoid deadlock caused by implicitly waking up kswapd by passing in\nallocation flags, which do not contain __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM in the\ndebug_objects_fill_pool() case. Inside stack depot they are processed by\ngfp_nested_mask().\nSince ___slab_alloc() has preemption disabled, we mask out\n__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM from the flags there.\n\nThe oops looks something like:\n\nBUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#3, swapper/3/0\n lock: 0xffffff8a4bf29c80, .magic: dead4ead, .owner: swapper/3/0, .owner_cpu: 3\nHardware name: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
