In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-net: fix recursived rtnl_lock() during probe()
The deadlock appears in a stack trace like:
virtnet_probe()
rtnl_lock()
virtio_config_changed_work()
netdev_notify_peers()
rtnl_lock()
It happens if the VMM sends a VIRTIO_NET_S_ANNOUNCE request while the
virtio-net driver is still probing.
The config_work in probe() will get scheduled until virtnet_open() enables
the config change notification via virtio_config_driver_enable().
