No additional mitigation actions are necessary as the patch fully addresses the deadlock condition.

Description

CVE-2025-22014 is a Linux kernel vulnerability involving a potential deadlock in the Qualcomm PDR (Power Domain Resource) driver. The issue occurs when concurrent processes interact with the PDR service lookup and locator workqueue, leading to a deadlock due to ordered workqueue processing and list locking. This deadlock can cause timeout errors and impact system availability. The vulnerability has been fixed by removing unnecessary list iteration and adjusting work scheduling. The fix is included in multiple Linux kernel versions starting from 5.15.0-1086.93 and related releases.
