In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: mcq: Fix &hwq->cq_lock deadlock issue
When ufshcd_err_handler() is executed, CQ event interrupt can enter waiting
for the same lock. This can happen in ufshcd_handle_mcq_cq_events() and
also in ufs_mtk_mcq_intr(). The following warning message will be generated
when &hwq->cq_lock is used in IRQ context with IRQ enabled. Use
ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock() with spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock to
resolve the deadlock issue.
