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

RDMA/iwcm: Fix WARNING:at_kernel/workqueue.c:#check_flush_dependency

In the commit aee2424246f9 ("RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use-after-free related to
destroying CM IDs"), the function flush_workqueue is invoked to flush the
work queue iwcm_wq.

But at that time, the work queue iwcm_wq was created via the function
alloc_ordered_workqueue without the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.

Because the current process is trying to flush the whole iwcm_wq, if
iwcm_wq doesn't have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, verify that the current
process is not reclaiming memory or running on a workqueue which doesn't
have the flag WQ_MEM_RECLAIM as that can break forward-progress guarantee
leading to a deadlock.

The call trace is as below:
