In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/ASPM: Fix deadlock when enabling ASPM
A last minute revert in 6.7-final introduced a potential deadlock when enabling ASPM during probe of Qualcomm PCIe controllers as reported by lockdep:
============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected 6.7.0 #40 Not tainted
kworker/u16:5/90 is trying to acquire lock: ffffacfa78ced000 (pcibussem){++++}-{3:3}, at: pcieaspmpmstatechange+0x58/0xdc
but task is already holding lock:
ffffacfa78ced000 (pcibussem){++++}-{3:3}, at: pciwalkbus+0x34/0xbc
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0

lock(pci_bus_sem);
lock(pci_bus_sem);
*** DEADLOCK ***

The deadlock can easily be reproduced on machines like the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s by adding a delay to increase the race window during asynchronous probe where another thread can take a write lock.
Add a new pcisetpowerstatelocked() and associated helper functions that can be called with the PCI bus semaphore held to avoid taking the read lock twice.
