Updated

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

scsi: lpfc: Release hbalock before calling lpfcworkerwakeup()

lpfcworkerwakeup() calls the lpfcworkdone() routine, which takes the hbalock. Thus, lpfcworkerwakeup() should not be called while holding the hbalock to avoid potential deadlock.
