Subject: CVE-2024-45007: char: xillybus: Don't destroy workqueue from work item running on it

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

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

char: xillybus: Don't destroy workqueue from work item running on it

Triggered by a kref decrement, destroy_workqueue() may be called from
within a work item for destroying its own workqueue. This illegal
situation is averted by adding a module-global workqueue for exclusive
use of the offending work item. Other work items continue to be queued
on per-device workqueues to ensure performance.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-45007 to this issue.


Affected and fixed versions

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:
