CVE-2026-68408

The CVE affects the Linux kernel cfg80211/pmsr handling in wifi: the deadlock occurred when a PMSR session was closed during device teardown: wdev_down held wiphy_lock, while pmsr_free_wk waited to acquire the same lock via cancel_work_sync. The fix converts pmsr_free_wk from a plain work_struct ...
