In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: avoid repeated calls to del_gendisk
There is a uaf problem which is found by case 23rdev-lifetime:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122
RIP: 0010:bdi_unregister+0x4b/0x170

RIP: 0033:0x7ff5250a177e
The sequence is:
1. rdev remove path gets reconfig_mutex
2. rdev remove path release reconfig_mutex in mddev_unlock
3. md stop calls do_md_stop and sets MD_DELETED
4. rdev remove path calls del_gendisk because MD_DELETED is set
5. md stop path release reconfig_mutex and calls del_gendisk again
So there is a race condition we should resolve. This patch adds a
flag MD_DO_DELETE to avoid the race condition.
