From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

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

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

scsi: ufs: core: mcq: Fix &hwq->cq_lock deadlock issue

When ufshcd_err_handler() is executed, CQ event interrupt can enter waiting
for the same lock. This can happen in ufshcd_handle_mcq_cq_events() and
also in ufs_mtk_mcq_intr(). The following warning message will be generated
when &hwq->cq_lock is used in IRQ context with IRQ enabled. Use
ufshcd_mcq_poll_cqe_lock() with spin_lock_irqsave instead of spin_lock to
resolve the deadlock 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:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2ce8c49c7b53e0a2258b833eeab16a6d78f732d1
