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

scsi: hisi_sas: Fix a deadlock issue related to automatic dump

If we issue a disabling PHY command, the device attached with it will go
offline, if a 2 bit ECC error occurs at the same time, a hung task may be
found:

This is because when the device goes offline, we obtain the hisi_hba
semaphore and send the ABORT_DEV command to the device. However, the
internal abort timed out due to the 2 bit ECC error and triggers automatic
dump. In addition, since the hisi_hba semaphore has been obtained, the dump
cannot be executed and the controller cannot be reset.

Therefore, the deadlocks occur on the following circular dependencies
