"The version of kernel installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-47696 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/iwcm: Fix
WARNING:at_kernel/workqueue.c:#check_flush_dependency In the commit aee2424246f9 (RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use-
after-free related to destroying CM IDs), the function flush_workqueue is invoked to flush the work queue
iwcm_wq. But at that time, the work queue iwcm_wq was created via the function alloc_ordered_workqueue
without the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM. Because the current process is trying to flush the whole iwcm_wq, if
iwcm_wq doesn't have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, verify that the current process is not reclaiming memory or
running on a workqueue which doesn't have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as that can break forward-progress
guarantee leading to a deadlock. The call trace is as below: [ 125.350876][ T1430] Call Trace: [
