Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: ufs: core: Fix deadlock during RTC update There is a deadlock when runtime suspend waits for the flush of RTC work,
and the RTC work calls ufshcd_rpm_get_sync() to wait for runtime resume. Here is deadlock backtrace: kworker/0:1 D 4892.876354 10 10971 4859 0x4208060 0x8 10 0 120 670730152367
