Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/debug: Fix deadlock during unregister Unregistering an s390dbf debug area while one of the associated debugfs files is being written to can cause a deadlock: $ echo >.../vmur/level $ rmmod vmur =================================================== debugfs write debugfs_file_get() debug_unregister() mutex_lock(debug_mutex) debugfs_remove() wait for debugfs_file_put() debug_file_ops.write() debug_input() mutex_lock(debug_mutex) ==> DEADLOCK Fix this by splitting debug_unregister() into an s390dbf and debugfs part, and running only the s390dbf part with debug_mutex locked.
