BUG: WARNING in dvb_frontend_get_event

From: Yu Hao
Date: Tue Apr 18 2023 - 00:50:25 EST


Hello,

We found the following issue using syzkaller on Linux v6.2.0.

In the function `dvb_frontend_get_event`, function
`wait_event_interruptible` is called
and the condition is `dvb_frontend_test_event(fepriv, events)`.
In the function `dvb_frontend_test_event`, function
`down(&fepriv->sem);` is called.
However, function `wait_event_interruptible` would put the process to sleep.
And function `down(&fepriv->sem);` may block the process.
So there is the issue with "do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING".

The full report including the Syzkaller reproducer & C reproducer:
https://gist.github.com/ZHYfeng/4c5f8be6adc63b73dba68230d15ece2c

The brief report is below:

Syzkaller hit 'WARNING in dvb_frontend_get_event' bug.
