- Published: 2025-09-17T15:15:36.070
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
led: qcom-lpg: Fix sleeping in atomic
lpg_brighness_set() function can sleep, while led’s brightness_set()
callback must be non-blocking. Change LPG driver to use
brightness_set_blocking() instead.
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:580
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/0
