Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
nvmet-tcp: fixup hang in nvmet_tcp_listen_data_ready()<br />
<br />
When the socket is closed while in TCP_LISTEN a callback is run to<br />
flush all outstanding packets, which in turns calls<br />
nvmet_tcp_listen_data_ready() with the sk_callback_lock held.<br />
So we need to check if we are in TCP_LISTEN before attempting<br />
to get the sk_callback_lock() to avoid a deadlock.
