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: [ 12.667612] WARNING:

instead, which is basically the same check as pre-v5.2.
