Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix potential deadlock in mt7921_roc_abort_sync
roc_abort_sync() can deadlock with roc_work(). roc_work() holds
dev->mt76.mutex, while cancel_work_sync() waits for roc_work()
to finish. If the caller already owns the same mutex, both
sides block and no progress is possible.
This deadlock can occur during station removal when
mt76_sta_state() -> mt76_sta_remove() -> mt7921_mac_sta_remove() ->
mt7921_roc_abort_sync() invokes cancel_work_sync() while
roc_work() is still running and holding dev->mt76.mutex.
This avoids the mutex deadlock and preserves exactly-once
work ownership.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.9 < 6.12.95)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.33)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 7.0.10)
