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

counter: interrupt-cnt: Drop IRQF_NO_THREAD flag

An IRQ handler can either be IRQF_NO_THREAD or acquire spinlock_t, as
CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING warns:
=============================
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]

-----------------------------
some-user-space-process/1251 is trying to lock:

other info that might help us debug this:

no locks held by some-user-space-process/....

... and Sebastian correctly points out. Remove IRQF_NO_THREAD as an
alternative to switching to raw_spinlock_t, because the latter would limit
all potential nested locks to raw_spinlock_t only.
