Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uio: uio_dmem_genirq: Fix missing unlock in irq configuration
Commit b74351287d4b ("uio: fix a sleep-in-atomic-context bug in
uio_dmem_genirq_irqcontrol()") started calling disable_irq() without
holding the spinlock because it can sleep. However, that fix introduced
another bug: if interrupt is already disabled and a new disable request
comes in, then the spinlock is not unlocked:

('myfpga' is a simple 'uio_dmem_genirq' driver I wrote to test this)
The implementation of "uio_dmem_genirq" was based on "uio_pdrv_genirq" and
it is used in a similar manner to the "uio_pdrv_genirq" driver with respect
to interrupt configuration and handling. At the time "uio_dmem_genirq" was
introduced, both had the same implementation of the 'uio_info' handlers
irqcontrol() and handler(). Then commit 34cb27528398 ("UIO: Fix concurrency
issue"), which was only applied to "uio_pdrv_genirq", ended up making them
a little different. That commit, among other things, changed disable_irq()
to disable_irq_nosync() in the implementation of irqcontrol(). The
motivation there was to avoid a deadlock between irqcontrol() and
handler(), since it added a spinlock in the irq handler, and disable_irq()
waits for the completion of the irq handler.
By changing disable_irq() to disable_irq_nosync() in irqcontrol(), we also
avoid the sleeping-whil
