In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: don't warn when if there is a FW error iwl_trans_reclaim is warning if it is called when the FW is not alive. But if it is called when there is a pending restart, i.e. after a FW error, there is no need to warn, instead - return silently.
