CVE-2024-26987 (2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/memory-failure: fix deadlock when hugetlb_optimize_vmemmap is enabled

When I did hard offline test with hugetlb pages, below deadlock occurs:

bash/46904 is trying to acquire lock:

but task is already holding lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.
