Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: iwlwifi: Use request_module_nowait<br />
<br />
This appears to work around a deadlock regression that came in<br />
with the LED merge in 6.9.<br />
<br />
The deadlock happens on my system with 24 iwlwifi radios, so maybe<br />
it something like all worker threads are busy and some work that needs<br />
to complete cannot complete.<br />
<br />
[also remove unnecessary "load_module" var and now-wrong comment]
