**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel versions prior to 6.8.0-rc2-Feb-net dev-Qiueue-00279-gbd43c5687e05 **Description** A vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel. The issue was reported by a customer during SRIOV testing and is related to the i40e driver workqueue being allocated with the WQ MEM RECLAIM flag, while the i40iw driver workqueue is not. This discrepancy triggers a warning in the check flush dependency function. The problem is similar to an error encountered on the ice driver, which was fixed by removing the flag. To resolve the issue, the WQ MEM RECLAIM flag should be removed from the i40e driver workqueue. **Recommendations** For Linux kernel version 6.8.0-rc2-Feb-net dev-Qiueue-00279-gbd43c5687e05 and earlier, remove the WQ MEM RECLAIM flag from the i40e driver workqueue to prevent the warning in the check flush dependency function. Note: The provided information does not specify the exact version in which the issue was fixed, but it is recommended to update to the latest version of the Linux kernel to ensure the vulnerability is resolved.
