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

usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix atomic context locking issue

The ncm_set_alt function was holding a mutex to protect against races
with configfs, which invokes the might-sleep function inside an atomic
context.

Remove the struct net_device pointer from the f_ncm_opts structure to
eliminate the contention. The connection state is now managed by a new
boolean flag to preserve the use-after-free fix from
commit 6334b8e4553c ("usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix UAF ncm object at re-bind
after usb ep transport error").
