In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix hard lockup when reading the rx_monitor from debugfs
During I/O and simultaneous cat of /sys/kernel/debug/lpfc/fnX/rx_monitor, a hard lockup similar to the call trace below may occur.
The spin_lock_bh in lpfc_rx_monitor_report is not protecting from timer interrupts as expected, so change the strength of the spin lock to _irq.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Hard LOCKUP CPU: 3 PID: 110402 Comm: cat Kdump: loaded
exception RIP: native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+91
