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

scsi: ufs: Fix a deadlock in the error handler

The following deadlock has been observed on a test setup:

  • All tags allocated

  • The SCSI error handler calls ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler()

  • ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler() queues work that calls
    ufshcd_err_handler()

  • ufshcd_err_handler() locks up as follows:

Workqueue: ufs_eh_wq_0 ufshcd_err_handler.cfi_jt
Call trace:
__switch_to+0x298/0x5d8

Fix this lockup by making ufshcd_exec_dev_cmd() allocate a reserved
request.
