      <title>CVE-2025-38114 — e1000: Move cancel_work_sync to avoid deadlock</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38114</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;e1000: Move cancel_work_sync to avoid deadlock&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Previously, e1000_down called cancel_work_sync for the e1000 reset task
(via e1000_down_and_stop), which takes RTNL.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As reported by users and syzbot, a deadlock is possible in the following
scenario:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CPU 0:
  - RTNL is held
  - e1000_close
  - e1000_down
  - cancel_work_sync (cancel / wait for e1000_reset_task())&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CPU 1:
  - process_one_work
  - e1000_reset_task
  - take RTNL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To remedy this, avoid calling cancel_work_sync from e1000_down
(e1000_reset_task does nothing if the device is down anyway). Instead,
call cancel_work_sync for e1000_reset_task when the device is being
removed.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
