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

ice: fix LAG and VF lock dependency in ice_reset_vf()

9f74a3dfcf83 (“ice: Fix VF Reset paths when interface in a failed over
aggregate”), the ice driver has acquired the LAG mutex in ice_reset_vf().
The commit placed this lock acquisition just prior to the acquisition of
the VF configuration lock.

If ice_reset_vf() acquires the configuration lock via the ICE_VF_RESET_LOCK
flag, this could deadlock with ice_vc_cfg_qs_msg() because it always
acquires the locks in the order of the VF configuration lock and then the
LAG mutex.

Lockdep reports this violation almost immediately on creating and then
removing 2 VF:
