Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: r8152: fix resume reset deadlock
rtl8152 can trigger device reset during reset which
potentially can result in a deadlock:
**** DPM device timeout after 10 seconds; 15 seconds until panic ****
Call Trace:

usb_resume+0x22/0x110
The problem is that rtl8152 resume calls reset under
tp->control mutex while reset basically re-enters rtl8152
and attempts to acquire the same tp->control lock once
again.
Reset INACCESSIBLE device outside of tp->control mutex
scope to avoid recursive mutex_lock() deadlock.
