Oracle Linux: CVE-2024-40977: ELSA-2024-7000: kernel security update (IMPORTANT) (Multiple Advisories)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7921s: fix potential hung tasks during chip recovery
During chip recovery (e.g. chip reset), there is a possible situation that
kernel worker reset_work is holding the lock and waiting for kernel thread
stat_worker to be parked, while stat_worker is waiting for the release of
the same lock.
It causes a deadlock resulting in the dumping of hung tasks messages and
possible rebooting of the device.
This patch prevents the execution of stat_worker during the chip recovery.
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mt76 driver for the mt7921s chip, where a potential deadlock could occur during chip recovery. This situation arises when the kernel worker reset_work holds a lock while waiting for the stat_worker thread, which is simultaneously waiting for the same lock to be released, which leads to hung tasks and may even result in device reboots.
