      <title>CVE-2024-56701 — powerpc/pseries: Fix dtl_access_lock to be a rw_semaphore</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2024-56701</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;powerpc/pseries: Fix dtl_access_lock to be a rw_semaphore&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The dtl_access_lock needs to be a rw_sempahore, a sleeping lock, because
the code calls kmalloc() while holding it, which can sleep:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;# echo 1 &amp;gt; /proc/powerpc/vcpudispatch_stats
