Description

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

drm/gma500: Fix BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context errors

gma_crtc_page_flip() was holding the event_lock spinlock while calling
crtc_funcs->mode_set_base() which takes ww_mutex.

The only reason to hold event_lock is to clear gma_crtc->page_flip_event
on mode_set_base() errors.

Instead unlock it after setting gma_crtc->page_flip_event and on
errors re-take the lock and clear gma_crtc->page_flip_event it
it is still set.

This fixes the following WARN/stacktrace:

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
