In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
devlink: hold region lock when flushing snapshots
Netdevsim triggers a splat on reload, when it destroys regions
with snapshots pending:

This is the locking assert in devlink_region_snapshot_del(),
we're supposed to be holding the region->snapshot_lock here.
