Official Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

idpf: fix PREEMPT_RT raw/bh spinlock nesting for async VC handling

Switch from using the completion's raw spinlock to a local lock in the

idpf_vc_xn struct. The conversion is safe because complete/_all() are

called outside the lock and there is no reason to share the completion

lock in the current logic. This avoids invalid wait context reported by

the kernel due to the async handler taking BH spinlock:
