In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf,lsm: Drop bpf_prog_free from sleepable_lsm_hooks
__bpf_prog_put_rcu() is the call_rcu() callback for non-sleepable programs.
security_bpf_prog_free() called from there fires bpf_prog_free in softirq;
if a sleepable LSM prog is attached to that hook, might_fault() BUGs:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 5038
preempt_count: 101, expected: 0
Call Trace:

The call_rcu/call_rcu_tasks_trace split reflects the freed program's
sleepability, not that of any attached observer.
security_bpf_prog_free() also frees prog->aux->security, which has to stay
after the grace period, so drop bpf_prog_free from sleepable_lsm_hooks
rather than move the call. Non-sleepable observers still run there.
