Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: ethernet: mtk-star-emac: fix spinlock recursion issues on rx/tx poll<br />
<br />
Use spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock_irqrestore instead of spin_lock<br />
and spin_unlock in mtk_star_emac driver to avoid spinlock recursion<br />
occurrence that can happen when enabling the DMA interrupts again in<br />
rx/tx poll.<br />
<br />
```<br />
