CVE-2023-53455 (published 2025-10-01 12:15:44.910000+00:00)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vc4: drop all currently held locks if deadlock happens

If vc4_hdmi_reset_link() returns -EDEADLK, it means that a deadlock
happened in the locking context. This situation should be addressed by
dropping all currently held locks and block until the contended lock
becomes available. Currently, vc4 is not dealing with the deadlock
properly, producing the following output when PROVE_LOCKING is enabled:

Therefore, deal with the deadlock as suggested by [1], using the
function drm_modeset_backoff().
