commit 9a655c77ff8fc65699a3f98e237db563b37c439b upstream. tpk_write()/tpk_close() could be interrupted when holding a mutex, then in timer handler tpk_write() may be called again trying to acquire same mutex, lead to deadlock. Google syzbot reported this issue with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:938 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1 1 lock held by swapper/1/0: ...

Fix it by using spinlock in process context instead of mutex and having interrupt disabled in critical section.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
