## Overview

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

nvmet-fc: avoid deadlock on delete association path

When deleting an association the shutdown path is deadlocking because we
try to flush the nvmet_wq nested. Avoid this by deadlock by deferring
the put work into its own work item.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel < 5.15.150`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.80`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.19`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.7.7`
- `linux_kernel = 6.8`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.7.7`
