CVE-2026-31574

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> clockevents: Add missing resets of the next_event_forced flag<br /> <br /> The prevention mechanism against timer interrupt starvation missed to reset<br /> the next_event_forced flag in a couple of places:<br /> <br /> - When the clock event state changes. That can cause the flag to be<br /> stale over a shutdown/startup sequence<br /> <br /> - When a non-forced event is armed, which then prevents rearming before<br /> that event. If that event is far out in the future this will cause<br /> missed timer interrupts.<br /> <br /> - In the suspend wakeup handler.<br /> <br /> That led to stalls which have been reported by several people.<br /> <br /> Add the missing resets, which fixes the problems for the reporters.
