Subject: CVE-2023-53730: blk-iocost: use spin_lock_irqsave in adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-iocost: use spin_lock_irqsave in adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost
adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() use spin_lock_irq() and IRQ will be enabled
when unlock. DEADLOCK might happen if we have held other locks and disabled
IRQ before invoking it.
Fix it by using spin_lock_irqsave() instead, which can keep IRQ state
consistent with before when unlock.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
