In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: r8152: fix resume reset deadlock
rtl8152 can trigger device reset during reset which
potentially can result in a deadlock:
**** DPM device timeout after 10 seconds; 15 seconds until panic ****
Call Trace:
schedule+0x483/0x1370
schedule_preempt_disabled+0x15/0x30
__mutex_lock_common+0x1fd/0x470
__rtl8152_set_mac_address+0x80/0x1f0

usb_resume_both+0x104/0x150

The problem is that rtl8152 resume calls reset under
tp->control mutex while reset basically re-enters rtl8152
and attempts to acquire the same tp->control lock once
again.
Reset INACCESSIBLE device outside of tp->control mutex
scope to avoid recursive mutex_lock() deadlock.
