In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

blk-cgroup: save IRQ state in blkg_tryget_closest()

bio_set_dev() associates the bio with a blkg through bio_associate_blkg().
If the blkg lookup misses, blkg_tryget_closest() takes q->queue_lock with
spin_lock_irq() and releases it with spin_unlock_irq(), which
unconditionally enables local interrupts.

Callers may call bio_set_dev() with interrupts already disabled, e.g.
dm-thin's pool_map() does so while holding pool->lock taken with
spin_lock_irq(). The nested spin_unlock_irq() then enables interrupts
while pool->lock is still held, so an I/O completion softirq can run on
the same CPU, re-acquire pool->lock (thin_endio(), or overwrite_endio()
-> complete_mapping_preparation()) and deadlock. lockdep reports this
as inconsistent SOFTIRQ-ON-W to IN-SOFTIRQ-W usage.

Commit 3a762de55b4e ("block: save irq state in blkg_lookup_create()")
fixed the same problem while the lock lived in blkg_lookup_create(), but
commit 9327a865e395 ("blk-cgroup: don't nest queue_lock under rcu in
blkg_lookup_create()") moved the locking into blkg_tryget_closest() and
reverted it to spin_lock_irq().

Save and restore the caller's IRQ state instead.
