"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2025-987693 advisory.

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

    ice: Do not use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag for workqueue

    When both ice and the irdma driver are loaded, a warning in
    check_flush_dependency is being triggered. This is due to ice driver
    workqueue being allocated with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag and the irdma one
    is not.

    According to kernel documentation, this flag should be set if the
    workqueue will be involved in the kernel's memory reclamation flow.
    Since it is not, there is no need for the ice driver's WQ to have this
    flag set so remove it.

    Example trace:
