At the lowest level, the atmel_serial driver is using\nserial_mctrl_gpio lib to enable/disable the corresponding IRQs\naccordingly.  The warning emitted by CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP is due to\ndisable_irq (called in mctrl_gpio_disable_ms) being possibly called in\nsome atomic context (some tty drivers perform modem lines configuration\nin regions protected by port lock).\n\nSplit mctrl_gpio_disable_ms into two differents APIs, a non-blocking one\nand a blocking one. Replace mctrl_gpio_disable_ms calls with the\nrelevant version depending on whether the call is protected by some port\nlock.","modified":"2026-03-20T12:42:38.448106Z","published":"2025-06-18T09:33:25.720Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2025:02249-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02254-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02307-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02333-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02335-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02538-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02846-1","SUSE-SU-2025:02923-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20475-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20483-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20493-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20498-1"],"database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/38xxx/CVE-2025-38040.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1bd2aad57da95f7f2d2bb52f7ad15c0f4993a685"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68435c1fa3db696db4f480385db9e50e26691d0d"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7187ec6b0b9ff22ebac2c3bb4178b7dbbdc0a55a"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c504c11b94d6e4ad818ca5578dffa8ff29ad0f20"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e6a46719a2369eb5186d4f7e6c0478720ca1ec3d"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2025/10/msg00008.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2025/38xxx/CVE-2025-38040.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-38040"},{"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":"ce59e48fdbad2aa6609ceb87e1306ec69e577e05"},{"fixed":"68435c1fa3db696db4f480385db9e50e26691d0d"},{"fixed":"c504c11b94d6e4ad818ca5578dffa8ff29ad0f20"},{"fixed":"e6a46719a2369eb5186d4f7e6c0478720ca1ec3d"},{"fixed":"7187ec6b0b9ff22ebac2c3bb4178b7dbbdc0a55a"},{"fixed":"1bd2aad57da95f7f2d2bb52f7ad15c0f4993a685"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-38040.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
