Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant
When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi and ks8851_irq:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 27s!

This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.
Now use spin_(un)lock_bh for TX queue related locking to avoid execution of softirq work synchronously that would lead to a deadlock.
