Subject: CVE-2024-41036: net: ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant

When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is
a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi
and ks8851_irq:

    watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 27s!

This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on
a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.

Now use spin_(un)lock_bh for TX queue related locking to avoid execution
of softirq work synchronously that would lead to a deadlock.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-41036 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
