In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:nvmet-tcp: fix incorrect locking in state_change sk callbackWe are not changing anything in the TCP connection state so
we should not take a write_lock but rather a read lock.This caused a deadlock when running nvmet-tcp and nvme-tcp
on the same system, where state_change callbacks on the
host and on the controller side have causal relationship
and made lockdep report on this with blktests:================================
