CVE-2023-53627
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: hisi_sas: Grab sas_dev lock when traversing the members of sas_dev.list

When freeing slots in function slot_complete_v3_hw(), it is possible that
sas_dev.list is being traversed elsewhere, and it may trigger a NULL
pointer exception, such as follows:

==>cq thread                    ==>scsi_eh_6

                                ==>scsi_error_handler()
				  ==>sas_eh_handle_sas_errors()
				    ==>sas_scsi_find_task()
				      ==>lldd_abort_task()
==>slot_complete_v3_hw()              ==>hisi_sas_abort_task()
  ==>hisi_sas_slot_task_free()	        ==>dereg_device_v3_hw()
    ==>list_del_init()        		  ==>list_for_each_entry_safe()
