CVE-2026-90127

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

virtio: rtc: time out alarm requests

RTC class operations run with rtc_device.ops_lock held. The virtio RTC
alarm requests currently wait without a timeout for the device to return
their requestq buffers.

On surprise removal, virtio-pci marks the virtqueues broken before
unregistering the virtio device. If an alarm request is waiting when the
device stops responding, viortc_remove() blocks in viortc_class_stop()
while trying to acquire ops_lock. The request cannot complete and device
removal hangs until the waiting task is signalled.

Use the same 60-second timeout as clock read requests for alarm reads,
alarm programming, and alarm interrupt enable requests. The existing
message reference counting keeps a timed-out request alive until a late
response or device teardown.
