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

    scsi: storvsc: Remove WQ_MEM_RECLAIM from storvsc_error_wq

    storvsc_error_wq workqueue should not be marked as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as it
    doesn't need to make forward progress under memory pressure.  Marking this
    workqueue as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM may cause deadlock while flushing a
    non-WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue.  In the current state it causes the following
    warning:
