Command 'ip link ... set nomaster' causes that ice_plug_aux_dev()\n   is called from ice_service_task() context, aux device is created\n   and associated device-\u003elock is taken.\n2. Command 'ip link ... set master...' calls ice's notifier under\n   RTNL lock and that notifier calls ice_unplug_aux_dev(). That\n   function tries to take aux device-\u003elock but this is already taken\n   by ice_plug_aux_dev() in step 1\n3. Later ice_plug_aux_dev() tries to take RTNL lock but this is already\n   taken in step 2\n4. Dead-lock\n\nThe patch fixes this issue by following changes:\n- Bit ICE_FLAG_PLUG_AUX_DEV is kept to be set during ice_plug_aux_dev()\n  call in ice_service_task()\n- The bit is checked in ice_clear_rdma_cap() and only if it is not set\n  then ice_unplug_aux_dev() is called. If it is set (in other words\n  plugging of aux device was requested and ice_plug_aux_dev() is\n  potentially running) then the function only clears the\n---truncated---","modified":"2026-03-20T12:21:56.308786Z","published":"2024-07-16T12:25:12.499Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2024:2894-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2902-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2929-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2939-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2947-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/48xxx/CVE-2022-48842.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5cb1ebdbc4342b1c2ce89516e19808d64417bdbc"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a9bbacc53d1f5ed8febbfdf31401d20e005f49ef"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e1014fc5572375658fa421531cedb6e084f477dc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2022/48xxx/CVE-2022-48842.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-48842"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"41a8c548d47bcdbbd5e0fa40fbb7c95cc54bcb34"},{"fixed":"a9bbacc53d1f5ed8febbfdf31401d20e005f49ef"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"6d26421f742345acb6158780dd1e61f945615f06"},{"fixed":"e1014fc5572375658fa421531cedb6e084f477dc"}]},{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"5dbbbd01cbba831233c6ea9a3e6bfa133606d3c0"},{"fixed":"5cb1ebdbc4342b1c2ce89516e19808d64417bdbc"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2022-48842.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
