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

NTB: epf: Avoid calling pci_irq_vector() from hardirq context

ntb_epf_vec_isr() calls pci_irq_vector() in hardirq context to derive
the vector number. pci_irq_vector() calls msi_get_virq() that takes a
mutex and can therefore trigger "scheduling while atomic" splats:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: kworker/u33:0/55/0x00010001
...
Call trace:

Cache the Linux IRQ number for vector 0 when vectors are allocated and
use it as a base in the ISR. Running the ISR in a threaded IRQ handler
would also avoid the problem, but that would be unnecessary here.
