Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ice: Do not use WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag for workqueue<br />
<br />
When both ice and the irdma driver are loaded, a warning in<br />
check_flush_dependency is being triggered. This is due to ice driver<br />
workqueue being allocated with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag and the irdma one<br />
is not.<br />
<br />
According to kernel documentation, this flag should be set if the<br />
workqueue will be involved in the kernel&#39;s memory reclamation flow.<br />
Since it is not, there is no need for the ice driver&#39;s WQ to have this<br />
flag set so remove it.<br />
<br />
Example trace:<br />
