This can happen in ufshcd_handle_mcq_cq_events() and\nalso in ufs_mtk_mcq_intr(). The following warning message will be generated\nwhen &hwq->cq_lock is used in IRQ context with IRQ enabled. Use\nufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock() with spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock to\nresolve the deadlock issue.\n\n[name:lockdep&]WARNING: inconsistent lock state\n[name:lockdep&]--------------------------------\n[name:lockdep&]inconsistent {IN-HARDIRQ-W} -> {HARDIRQ-ON-W} usage.\n[name:lockdep&]kworker/u16:4/260 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes:\n  ffffff8028444600 (&hwq->cq_lock){?.-.}-{2:2}, at:\nufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock+0x30/0xe0\n[name:lockdep&]{IN-HARDIRQ-W} state was registered at:\n  lock_acquire+0x17c/0x33c\n  _raw_spin_lock+0x5c/0x7c\n  ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock+0x30/0xe0\n  ufs_mtk_mcq_intr+0x60/0x1bc [ufs_mediatek_mod]\n  __handle_irq_event_percpu+0x140/0x3ec\n  handle_irq_event+0x50/0xd8\n  handle_fasteoi_irq+0x148/0x2b0\n  generic_handle_domain_irq+0x4c/0x6c\n  gic_handle_irq+0x58/0x134\n  call_on_irq_stack+0x40/0x74\n  do_interrupt_handler+0x84/0xe4\n  el1_interrupt+0x3c/0x78\n<snip>\n\nPossible unsafe locking scenario:\n       CPU0\n       ----\n  lock(&hwq->cq_lock);\n  <Interrupt>\n    lock(&hwq->cq_lock);\n  *** DEADLOCK ***\n2 locks held by kworker/u16:4/260:\n\n[name:lockdep&]\n stack backtrace:\nCPU: 7 PID: 260 Comm: kworker/u16:4 Tainted: G S      W  OE\n6.1.17-mainline-android14-2-g277223301adb #1\nWorkqueue: ufs_eh_wq_0 ufshcd_err_handler\n\n Call trace:\n  dump_backtrace+0x10c/0x160\n  show_stack+0x20/0x30\n  dump_stack_lvl+0x98/0xd8\n  dump_stack+0x20/0x60\n  print_usage_bug+0x584/0x76c\n  mark_lock_irq+0x488/0x510\n  mark_lock+0x1ec/0x25c\n  __lock_acquire+0x4d8/0xffc\n  lock_acquire+0x17c/0x33c\n  _raw_spin_lock+0x5c/0x7c\n  ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock+0x30/0xe0\n  ufshcd_poll+0x68/0x1b0\n  ufshcd_transfer_req_compl+0x9c/0xc8\n  ufshcd_err_handler+0x3bc/0xea0\n  process_one_work+0x2f4/0x7e8\n  worker_thread+0x234/0x450\n  kthread+0x110/0x134\n  ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ce8c49c7b53e0a2258b833eeab16a6d78f732d1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/948afc69615167a3c82430f99bfd046332b89912"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:16:40.427100871+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-53760","score":0.00172,"percentile":0.06573,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
