Technical description

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

accel/ivpu: Fix deadlock in ivpu_ms_cleanup()

Fix deadlock in ivpu_ms_cleanup() by preventing runtime resume after

file_priv->ms_lock is acquired.

During a failure in runtime resume, a cold boot is executed, which

calls ivpu_ms_cleanup_all(). This function calls ivpu_ms_cleanup()

that acquires file_priv->ms_lock and causes the deadlock.
