Fix Version: 10.24.33.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 24
Component/s: Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: core: Run atomic i2c xfer when !preemptible
Since bae1d3a05a8b, i2c transfers are non-atomic if preemption is
disabled. However, non-atomic i2c transfers require preemption (e.g. in
wait_for_completion() while waiting for the DMA).
panic() calls preempt_disable_notrace() before calling
emergency_restart(). Therefore, if an i2c device is used for the
restart, the xfer should be atomic. This avoids warnings like:

Use !preemptible() instead, which is basically the same check as
pre-v5.2.
