Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: imx_dsp_rproc: Add mutex protection for workqueue
The workqueue may execute late even after remoteproc is stopped or
stopping, some resources (rpmsg device and endpoint) have been
released in rproc_stop_subdevices(), then rproc_vq_interrupt()
accessing these resources will cause kennel dump.
Call trace:

ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20
Add mutex protection in imx_dsp_rproc_vq_work(), if the state is
not running, then just skip calling rproc_vq_interrupt().
Also the flush workqueue operation can't be added in rproc stop
for the same reason. The call sequence is
rproc_shutdown
-> rproc_stop
->rproc_stop_subdevices
->rproc->ops->stop()
->imx_dsp_rproc_stop
->flush_work
-> rproc_vq_interrupt
The resource needed by rproc_vq_interrupt has been released in
rproc_stop_subdevices, so flush_work is not safe to be called in
imx_dsp_rproc_stop.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.0.18)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.1 < 6.1.4)
