Description
A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel while parsing the txq list in the lpfc_drain_txq() function. Due to improper handling of a local fail message string which is set when a job fails and is never unset for subsequent jobs, this issue can lead to list corruption as jobs may be added to both the txq and the completions list. This could result in system instability or inconsistencies.
