  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  dmaengine: xilinx_dma: Fix CPU stall in xilinx_dma_poll_timeout  Currently when calling xilinx_dma_poll_timeout with delay_us=0 and a condition that is never fulfilled, the CPU busy-waits for prolonged time and the timeout triggers only with a massive delay causing a CPU stall.  This happens due to a huge underestimation of wall clock time in poll_timeout_us_atomic. Commit 7349a69cf312 (\u0022iopoll: Do not use timekeeping in read_poll_timeout_atomic()\u0022) changed the behavior to no longer use ktime_get at the expense of underestimation of wall clock time which appears to be very large for delay_us=0. Instead of timing out after approximately XILINX_DMA_LOOP_COUNT microseconds, the timeout takes XILINX_DMA_LOOP_COUNT * 1000 * (time that the overhead of the for loop in poll_timeout_us_atomic takes) which is in the range of several minutes for XILINX_DMA_LOOP_COUNT=1000000. Fix this by using a non-zero value for delay_us. Use delay_us=10 to keep the delay in the hot path of starting DMA transfers minimal but still avoid CPU stalls in case of unexpected hardware failures.  One-off measurement with delay_us=0 causes the cpu to busy wait around 7 minutes in the timeout case. After applying this patch with delay_us=10 the measured timeout was 1053428 microseconds which is roughly equivalent to the expected 1000000 microseconds specified in XILINX_DMA_LOOP_COUNT.  Add a constant XILINX_DMA_POLL_DELAY_US for delay_us value.",
