Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Use raw_spinlock_t in ringbuf
The function __bpf_ringbuf_reserve is invoked from a tracepoint, which
disables preemption. Using spinlock_t in this context can lead to a
"sleep in atomic" warning in the RT variant. This issue is illustrated
in the example below:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 556208, name: test_progs
preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 1
INFO: lockdep is turned off.
Preemption disabled at:

Switch the spinlock to raw_spinlock_t to avoid this error.
