Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-07-16 12:21:18 UTC 
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

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