Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
nvme-multipath: fix lockdep WARN due to partition scan work<br />
<br />
Blktests test cases nvme/014, 057 and 058 fail occasionally due to a<br />
lockdep WARN. As reported in the Closes tag URL, the WARN indicates that<br />
a deadlock can happen due to the dependency among disk->open_mutex,<br />
kblockd workqueue completion and partition_scan_work completion.<br />
<br />
To avoid the lockdep WARN and the potential deadlock, cut the dependency<br />
by running the partition_scan_work not by kblockd workqueue but by<br />
nvme_wq.
