In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regmap: Fix race condition in hwspinlock irqsave routine Previously, the address of the shared member '&map->spinlock_flags' was passed directly to 'hwspin_lock_timeout_irqsave'. This creates a race condition where multiple contexts contending for the lock could overwrite the shared flags variable, potentially corrupting the state for the current lock owner. Fix this by using a local stack variable 'flags' to store the IRQ state temporarily. A race condition vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's regmap subsystem when using hardware spinlocks with IRQ save. The shared spinlock_flags member address was passed directly to hwspin_lock_timeout_irqsave(), allowing multiple contexts contending for the lock to overwrite the shared flags variable. This could corrupt the IRQ state for the current lock owner, leading to improper interrupt handling.
