UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74526: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpi3mr: Fix potential deadlock in mpi3mrfaultueventemit mpi3mrfaultueventemit() runs from the fault watchdog and reset paths where host I/O may already be blocked. GFPKERNEL allocations here, both the local kzallocobj() and the ones inside kobjectueventenv() itself, can trigger reclaim that waits on that blocked I/O and deadlock. Use memallocnoiosave()/restore() to cover the whole call instead of just the local allocation.
