Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
i2c: core: Run atomic i2c xfer when !preemptible<br />
<br />
Since bae1d3a05a8b, i2c transfers are non-atomic if preemption is<br />
disabled. However, non-atomic i2c transfers require preemption (e.g. in<br />
wait_for_completion() while waiting for the DMA).<br />
<br />
panic() calls preempt_disable_notrace() before calling<br />
emergency_restart(). Therefore, if an i2c device is used for the<br />
restart, the xfer should be atomic. This avoids warnings like:<br />
<br />
[ 12.667612] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h:318 rcu_note_context_switch+0x33c/0x6b0<br />
[ 12.676926] Voluntary context switch within RCU read-side critical section!<br />
...<br />

[ 12.749179] wait_for_completion_timeout from tegra_i2c_wait_completion+0x40/0x70<br />
...<br />

[ 13.001050] machine_restart from panic+0x2a8/0x32c<br />
<br />
Use !preemptible() instead, which is basically the same check as<br />
pre-v5.2.
