Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
scsi: storvsc: Remove WQ_MEM_RECLAIM from storvsc_error_wq<br />
<br />
storvsc_error_wq workqueue should not be marked as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as it<br />
doesn&#39;t need to make forward progress under memory pressure. Marking this<br />
workqueue as WQ_MEM_RECLAIM may cause deadlock while flushing a<br />
non-WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue. In the current state it causes the following<br />
warning:<br />
<br />
