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:

request.
