CVE-2024-36004 is a low-severity Linux kernel i40e Ethernet-driver workqueue configuration defect. The i40e driver created its service workqueue with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM flag. When the i40e service task initiated client shutdown and the associated RDMA client cleanup flushed a workqueue not marked WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, the kernel workqueue dependency checker emitted a check_flush_dependency warning. The upstream correction creates the affected i40e workqueue without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.
